Default Fuel Rail Covers

Does anyone know how to put on vette fuel rail covers on an ss. Is it a do-it-yourself project or should I be going with someone who knows what they're doing? I've heard they could be a pain that's why i'm asking before I f--- something up.

....also LS6 int. manifold or Fast LSX with the 90 mm TB
LS6 is $475 and $400 for the TB
Fast is $875 and $500 for the TB

Do a search, there a lot of threads about this. The covers have to be cut to fit. You can do it yourself, but it will take some time. There are a few guys on here that sell them already cut, painted and decaled the way you want them. I bought mine from Bryan (parbreak) a few years ago and was very pleased. Pricey, yes, worth it, every penny. I just had them redone with the True Fire look to change it up a bit. If you don't have the funds, get the covers from the dealer or ebay and start cutting.

I bought my corvette fuelrail covers from trans am creations $100 shipped, with the custom cut already done. Some people say that you have to disconnect your throttle cable and battery, and all this other **** that really isnt neccesary. I just carefully snugged them into place using comin sense. However, I did have to make a custom hole for the dip stick. But as far as that, not bad at all.

Look up parbreak on this site.

The first set of Corvette FRCs I cut myself. Not too hard as long as you don't get in a big hurry. Remember, measure twice and cut once. At least make small cuts since you can always cut more off. It's not so easy to add it back on .

Now that I've removed the AIR pump and it's related hosing, I've got less stuff to make cutouts around. I've got a new set of Corvette FRCs to install this Fall/Winter since I don't need to hack them up as much now.

I'll have my first set available for sale later on if you're interested. Just send me a PM if you are.....

Use the 'Search' function up there on yer right, ...

Search, read, search, read, ...

'fuel rail covers' or 'frc's'

There's a reason why the makers of these things cut them the way they do, ..., for ease of installation, ...


Anyone else try the C6 LS2 covers yet? I can't see where they'd be that great of an application in the f-body as a lot of the perimeter structure is so different. But someone's gotta do it, so let us see how it turns out in the end 'estrda1'.

I can't see C6 covers working too well either. You've got to cut the extra fuel line slit which automatically is going to make them look bad.

People make it sound harder than it really is. Just put them on and start cutting and fitting.
