Thanks Mr. Bill. Is there a "how to" anywhere? I can't seem to find one and don't want to mess anything up..

REMOVAL OF EXISTING FUEL RAILS (If applicable)
1. Disconnect the ground connection to your vehicle's battery. This is a safety
precaution. Allow engine to cool before proceeding.
2. Your stock fuel rails will have a valve on them that looks like a tire valve.
This will usually be at the front end of one rail and will have a black plastic
cap on it. Remove the cap. If you press on the core of the valve, it will
release the pressure in the fuel rails. Caution!! Fuel will spray out and you
should have a towel or other absorbent cloth to catch any fuel that is
released. Bleed system until flow stops. Wipe up any spills that may occur.
3. Remove any bolts or screws that hold the rails to the engine. New stainless
screws are provided in the kit for reattaching our rails.
4. Remove fuel inlet and return line from the rails. A special tool available at
most auto parts stores is required to remove the fuel lines. (You may not need to remove this)
5. Detach electrical connections from each injector. Disconnect anything
attached to fuel rails. Remove the fuel rail assembly. Each injector has an oring
on each end of it. One end fits tightly into the rail and the other end fits
tightly into the manifold. When you lift up on the rails, it may pull off of the
injectors or it may bring some of them with it. If so, be careful that they do
not drop out and become damaged. Handle injectors with care.
6. Inspect the o-rings on the injectors. If you see any deterioration or cuts or
slices, they must be replaced. It's not a bad idea to replace them in any event

I can do the hydro covers or real carbon or the actual intake in CF or just color.
