Default Fuel Rail Cover Install?

I don't know if this was already asked but I am looking for a step by step install instruction on fuel rail covers. Does anyone have anything that could help? Thanks.

Are they already cut or do you need to know where to cut them? Because they literally take less than 30 seconds to install

Not exactly 30-seconds, ..., 45 maybe, ..., There is some prep work involved.
Like moving the wire bundles down off the fuel rail tubes.
Like removing the throttle cable bracket off of the intake manifold.
Etc., etc., ...

But yes, there some modifications/cut required to the covers.
Or the next person will come along & claim there is nothing required but will fail to mention all the things they did to the engine compartment to be able to not make any cuts.

I ordered the pre-cut FRC from afterthough auto. I looked at the engine to where they will go but w/ all the wires and other stuff I just wanted to double check if there is anything I need to do. I'm just being cautious, that's all.

Like Said just need to move the fuel lines around to make them fit. Then they can snap into place. Passenger side is easy. Driver side pissed me off because I couldn't see where I was caught up at.

Did you take off or move any brackets around or just moved the fuel lines around to make them fit? I was put in the drivers side and it went in ok. I just don't want to scratch the FRC to hell once I customize them.

Only thing I did on the driver side was the cut tape for the fuel line so I can move each line into the slots of the cover. Nothing else was needed to move.

I had a bracket on the driver side...near the back that had to be bent down a tad for the FRC to fit.

move the emissions hoses and brackets, and if you get the one for the 97/98 Corvette, cutting will be minimal (throttle cable area)
