Are you asking about your Fuel Rail Covers (FRC's)? if you are then you may want to do a search on the topic. There have been several threads that either explain how to paint them yourself or posts of folks showing their painted FRC's. I did mine, nothing fancy, but I think they turned out pretty good.

Painted Rail Covers
Just go by your local hardware store and pick up a can of Krylon Plastic Primer and a can of the color you want. Wash the covers with laundry detergent , rinse well and use scotch brite pad to scuff well. Clean both covers with alcohol and prime and paint following instructions on cans of paint. Cost , about $12.00 and 1hour of your time. Works great and no down time. Good luck.

If you want to have them done for you check out C5KIDD. He is a forum sponsor and I 've heard nothing but high praise for his work. Here's his link, which is also on the left side of the page.

I think it's a great visual modification.

I had a fellow forum member send me directions on how to do it so it looks great! I am starting mine. Send me your email and I can forward the email I received on how to pain them on your own.

You can do them yourself! Just get some VHT High temp paint and clean them real good primer and paint to liking!
Thanks,Matt
