Default Ordered these, what do you all think?

Well I bought a set of corvette fuel rail covers and while I got them to bolt on they looked like *** with the huge gap from the super vic to the covers, so I resold them at a big loss on ebay and bought these the other night instead.

Hopefully the polished looks alright under my hood, if not I'll have them powdercoated some color instead. Heard they come in an edelbrock box even, just no logo on them and half the cost.

Several guys bought those for their cars just last month. I think speedtigger posted pics of how he had to modify them to clear his alternator bracket.

ya the coils bolt to those covers then the covers bolt to the factory valve covers, anything to hide these ugly coils IMO

The coils bolt to the underside of the cover. I found that the coil wiring harnesses had to be unwrapped and some wires lengthened to get a satisfactory routing. You can do it without revamping the coil harness, but harness wires will be right next to where the plug wire plugs in to the coil which I did not like.

They look good in polish or cast. Im workon on my stock covers. Just ground down all the coil pack pedestals and filling in all void with epoxy for a smooth look. Even the ridges between the bolts
