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.....

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'.
