If I remember correctly, you can buy the stock Corvette ones for $75 new and make them fit. There have been plenty of threads on this over the years.

Or got to a junkyard and pull them off a wrecked Corvette.

There are three factory frc types that will fit. LS1 Corvette (black with 5.7L), LS6 Corvette (red with 5.7L), and LS1(2004) GTO. All three will require cutting and trimming to fit in an F-body. You should be able to get LS1 Corvette covers for $60~80, and LS6 vette and LS1 GTO covers around $100.

I got my fuel rail covers from after thoughts. They are a very nice piece with out modding on them and cutting them. I had mine custom made so they did take alittle bit to make but well worth it. Defiantly recommend though to cover up all the junk on the motor.

Here are my covers. Didn't get them from Afterthoughts though.









Mine were about $200.00 for the multi-colored/texture paint

Those in the pic look good. I have a set of red corvette fuel rail covers that I took off a while ago, I guess I got bored of them. I might do something to them and put them back on.

Are 97-98 covers the only ones with 2 slots? I have a set, but I was told it was from a 2001.
