Use that "Search" function, you'll find lots of info on the "Fuel Rail Covers", or "FRCs", maybe even "FRC's", ...
Yes, the 97-98 FRC's are the best ones to start with because of the 2 fuel lines.
But you'll hafta do some cutting to make them fit.
Or you can simply buy a set of them already modified for $150-200+ range, ready to snap into place.
A couple good sellers here that will help you out.
Good luck, It's really an easy mod that cleans up the engine compartment.
Later, ...

I purchased a set of custom made FRCs by parbreak.Even though they had been modified to fit my T/A,they were still a PITA to install.I have a bad back,so it doesn't take much to get it fired up.

It was worth it though.

I did it and it looks awesome. Cutting them is very easy. I bought a pair for $50 of a board member. Did the whole job for about $70 including paint. No pics yet though.
