Where can I find the most affordable Fuel rail Covers for LS1?
I wanted to customize a set, paint and place Hawk emblems on them...but I need the rail covers. Anybody find them for a good price? I've seen the Afterthoughts ones for $200, anything else out there? Thanks!

If you want the cheapest Fuel rail covers, the Corvette FRCs are the way to go. You'll have to do some cutting toward the back of the FRC to get it to fit right on our cars, but I heard its not too bad. This is what I am going to do. I'm pretty sure the ones with the 2 fuel lines are the ones you need. As for customizing them, thats all up to you in how you want to do it. With the vette FRCs, your going to have to do the customizing, as opposed to the ones already custom made at afterthougtsauto.com ( which are an awesome product). I would definitely talk to Teri as far as decals and stuff for the FRCs. I am going to have her make me a plaque to go over the corvette on the FRC, so there is no sanding or filling on the letters. Just apply the plaque right over it, and it looks great! Very awesome quality and customized to your choice. Anyways, I am rambling on, sorry this is so long. I hope this helps you out!
Here is a link to look at on how to cut them to fit and such:

I grabbed a set of real carbon fiber rail covers from a guy in California for $100.00 plus shiping. He works for a place that molds carbon fiber for busses. So he makes rail covers on the side. Better than paying $300.00. I had to do a little cutting though. I am waiting on my "Firehawk" stickers for the covers.
