Default fuel rail covers

Ive tried without success to located a specific set of valve covers for my bird, so I am moving on to fuel rail covers. I have seen/read that afterthoughts is no longer doing them and/or that they have a 2 year wait. I sent an email and facebook messege trying to determine the truthfullness of this.

Is there anyone else out there that does such work that people have been happy with. I've searched with no luck unless Im just ot using the right combination of words.

Thanks

I have some covers I am selling currently. Look just like those just not painted as nice. But I could get them painted nice any color you want.

I don't think afterthoughtsauto has done these for a good 5+ years. You can do the work yourself (it's not too hard) or have a paint shop do the work of filling the corvette letters and painting them. There are vinyl decal kits available to cover the lines and "5.7" lettering, not sure which websites will still have them, but eBay should.. think I still have a silver set around somewhere I never used..

You'll want the 97-98 fuel rail covers I believe.

You can't buy the 97-98 2-slot covers from GM anymore.
You can buy the single slot covers & cut a matching second slot.
Or you can occasionally find a used set on eBay as noted above.
I had built over a couple hundred of those custom covers over the years, until the market fell off with the 4th-gen fbody movement, ...
