How many LT1 owners are serious about buying Carbon Fiber FRC's?
We have them made and they are currently being tested on a daily driven LT1 car. These will be out within a week or so. They will cost about the same as the LS1 covers because of the prices of Carbon Fiber. ($300)
Similar to these, but in Carbon Fiber (any color)

I would if i weren't a poor college student and had other things in the engine bay that looked pretty! I'll be a certified personal trainer here soon maybe I'll be able to make some money to buy some of these badboys soon!

You're going to get a 1,000,000 "Hey I want a set right away" but how many will pony up the cash? Not trying to cast a wide shadow here, but LT1 guys just don't seem to spend as much appearance wise on their cars. I've done now close to 600 sets of LS1 covers and maybe 15 sets of LT1 covers. Just something to chew on before investing a lot of time and money. I think the above 2 posts reinforce my point.

I think the problem with LT1 FRC's is they are all expensive and all say corvette, the ones that dont are also expensive. I would love some just plain FRC's, doesnt even have to be carbon fiber, just something i can use and paint on my own, and keep the price down. They look great but again, $300 is a lot to commit for FRC's

Cant make them any cheaper. Carbon Fiber costs a lot of money these days. They should be available cheaper in a gelcoat fiberglass version that the customer can scuff & paint. Prices would most likely mirror the LS1 covers.
Not trying to pay for a house with LT1 stuff... My business partner has made the LT1 covers possible and he'll sell them using his own channels too.
You guys asked for LT1 stuff and that's what we're doing...

Please continue to bring in new LT1 products, as there needs to be some stuff for the LT1's.
Im not into the carbon fiber look at all. Ill probably purchase these from you, and if I do they will be bare so this way I can paint them myself.
Way to keep us LT1 guys excited.

$300 seems to be the going price for fuel rail covers for the LT1 so I don't think its that bad of a deal considering the cost and scarcity of carbon fiber these days. And **** at the Turkey Rod Run this past year everyone that had a set of used LT1 fuel rail covers want no less than $200 for them!

yeah i think they look good but i cant afford them. Maybe if you sold them without any design to lower the price. Also are you going to make any other dress up items for the lt1?

We can get you gelcoat fiberglass for $165
The Carbon Fiber can be had for as low as $260.
I just got the new pricing (which I didn't have last night) from my partner. They don't get any lower than this...
How do those prices sound? How many of you love your LT1 enough to treat it to the best quality Carbon Fiber covers on the market for the lowest price available?
