Default fuel rail covers

Where's the best place to get them? What all is needed to do in making them fit properly on a 99' Z28?

it really depends if u want them to say corvette or not when u get them. Afterthoughts Auto is the only place i know of as far as a company that sells them with corvette filled in aready. bit pricey though. quite a few places sell them as they come from GM with corvette on them. not to be rude, but if the search is working(think it may be back up), u should find everything u need, including where to cut etc.

Do a search in Yahoo or Google. There are a few sites out there that detail what needs to be done to make the GM FRC's fit. As I found out from personal experience, my covers had to be cut differently than all the others I've seen. It seems that no two are alike.

If ya wanna cut'em yerself, buy the 97-98 GM OE fuel rail covers from a sponsor.
FredBeans over on LS1 dot com has them pretty cheap.
I don't know if any other sponsors here sells them as new or not.
If you need help in cutting them, send me a note, I can give ya some pointers!
Good Luck, ...

Problem is, I've had people send me pics of this guy's fuel rail covers after a year or so and the paint is bubbling. Not to mention he stole my cuts

Get them from Afterthoughts, it's worth the extra few $$

You would have to remind me what was on them as far as decals, etc. and from what color to what color and any new decals, emblems, etc. you would want. Shoot me an email at:

parbreak@comcast.net

with the details.

Thanks
