They don't sell those, they sell fuel rail covers. I have never seen those, probably (obviously) something for a Corvette. I wouldn't try to fit it on an F-Body, too many things in the way, and you will have to do a lot of cutting.

I think that is off the Tiger Shark concept Corvette. Could be wrong.

That cover is no good for an f-body due to several fitment issues. Nice on a C5 though.

I agree with WhiteDeathLS1. No way that's going to fit on an f-body. Too bad though.

That would hide way too much anyway.. No car show judge wants to see a big carbon fiber engine cover-that I can promise you... Effort and money pay off. Just look at Steve's car and if he posted a pic of all his awards, I'm sure you all would get a real good idea of what I'm talking about.

I looked into those around the beginning of the year. I think they were also being made by an Australian distributor for the Holdens, but anyway, still too pricey for a piece that would have to be cut up to high hell to fit. That's just my .02 though.

Yea, you would have to hack it up a LOT to make it fit an Fbody.. Ive seen it on vettes and it looks good.. Sorta pricy though..
