How hard is it to take off FRC on a vette

What tools do I need to take off some FRC's on a 99 C5 vette? What do I have to do? Are they bolted on or snap ons? Thanks

thats something ive always wondered as well, what is a FRC vette? I know what FRC ment but never understood what a FRC vette was. So all I have to do is pull the covers off the engine?

Approximately 11.2 seconds, if you don't count the time it takes you to walk around to the other side of the car.

11.2 seconds to remove the fuel rail covers? Is that if you're doing it on lunch break with a sandwich in one hand and your drink in the other?

FRC = Fixed Roof Coupe (See Pic #1)
FRC also = Fuel Rail Cover (See Pic #2). Removal time about 1.5 Seconds each, unless you mount your nitrous unit on top of one of them, then about 2 minutes.
