Wink Red Z06 FRC

I've been looking but i cannot find any pictures of the Red C5 Z06 Corvette fuel rail covers with 2 cut outs for the fuel lines. Did Chevy make any like that? or are they all with just one cut out? Thanx.

The red FRC's only had a cutout for one fuel line. If you need the return fuel line you'll have to cut one into the red FRC's or get the black ones that already have it.

The Z06 didn't come out until '01 and the Z06 is the only one that got the red covers.

I've got the red covers on my '98 Z28 (since I did an LS6 swap), but I had to cut them. It was actually VERY easy to do with a dremel. I just traced the pattern of the first cut and then placed it where the 2nd cut was supposed to be and went to town. You'd never know they didn't come with the 2 cuts by looking at them!

I guess that is what I will have to do. I like the "powered by" on the radiator cover.

Why is everyone cutting into the covers??? Instead of ******* up a good cover just un-wrap the heat wrap on the fuel rail and pass the purge line under the cover and let the fuel rail go over the top..

I was just outside looking at my motor thinking just that, so there are no issues with doing this?

I was also thinking, is there another type of fuel line i could put in it's place? Something that looks a little bit nicer...easier on the eyes.
