Default Fuel Rail Covers

I see lots of fuel rail covers on newer Vetts, but are any made for a 1990 C4? I would like to dress up under the hood. Any pictures?

They started in 1992 with the LT1. I don't like them, rather see what's going on.
All new car engines are covered in plastic, what the hell are they thinking?

When I look under the hood of newer cars I often wonder where the hell the engine is. They're so quiet and they look rather fake... I'm a big fan of an engine resembling one.

Don';t get me wrong, I like the LT1 covers, but I'd rather have them off.
On my '93 I have no choice.

I put the LT4 covers on my '95(no pics of that)

I guess it is better to leave it pure. My engine compartment is very clean.

Most of the newer ones are covering coils attached to the valve covers that do not look that great, I don't think that these look that bad on the LS6 02 Z06 that I recently bought.

Frank, Your fuel rails are looking pretty grimy there. You keep falling behind like that the Zaino cult will excommunicate you!

They add at least 50 hp!

Nah, just the red letters. I had tey stick on type before but they kept falling off, my hands aren't as steady as they used to be, so I bought the LT4 prepainted ones rather than trying to do it myself.
