Default Fuel Rail Covers on C4

Does anyone know if you can get a set of fuel rail covers for an 85? Or make a later C4 set work? . Thx

Your car has fuel rails. No covers. They look nice, as is. Are you going to cover them up?

I've never seen L98 with aftermarket fuel rail or runners covers.

It would take away from the engine's look.

Yes you can get some for the l98 tpi, Someone sells a polished kit, but it is just flat polished metal that covers it. Corvette central used to sell it not sure if they still do.

If you have a miniram intake or something modified, and are looking to cover that, you can make the lt1 fuel rail covers work if that is what you are asking.

for stock tpi it's very similar to this.

I have been looking for something like this also. Check Covette Central - nothing listed I could find. If anyone has a source please post.

I'll look, but I would polish the intake before covering with 3 large sheets of tin. That is what the kit consists of.

Something like this 18 pc kit below.

I have only seen fuel rail covers for the LT1 motor, nothing for the L98. As other members have suggested, if you got your intake polished, it would look amazing! However, if you have your heart set on the fuel rail covers, there might be a way to get the LT1 fuel rail covers to look nice on the L98 intake, but it is a stretch! The LT1 intake is 6 inches high and pretty flush with the valve covers as opposed to the L98 intake which stands 9 1/2 inches at it's tallest, and not to mention the bulging runners over the fuel rails. Or, maybe the LS1 fuel rail covers might work? Eh...
