Fuel Rail Covers

I am thinking of buying some 'vette fuel rail covers for my Trans Am as I like how they clean things up in the engine bay.

What all do I need to do to install them?

Do they just snap onto those pointy pegs on the coils?

My understanding is there is just some dremel'ing to clearance them to fit?

I have a '98, but will be removing my air/egr when I install my LS6 intake (am painting it now), so that will be less hassle.

Check out afterthoughts auto (one of the sponsors). They make custom ones that they can paint to match and replace the Corvette lettering with Trans Am lettering.

They just snap on to the fuel rails but if you're not buying aftermarket then you have quite a bit of work to do, IMO. I myself wish I just spent the extra money and bought aftermarket.

It's not that much work. In fact if you think ahead all you have to do is cut the passanger side cover to fit over the throttle linkage. The driver side will go on without cutting. IF you still have the AIR system just unbolt the part on the back of the head and it will tuck up under the cover
