Valve Covers

I tried to find the thread about the covers some people (like me

) have had done. I couldn't find the one I wanted. So I'll just start a new one

I have these now....

So if you have an FRC (Fixed Roof Coupe) with custom FRC's (Fuel Rail Covers) do you have an FRC with FRC's or an FRC with FRC's?

i am not a fan of fuel rail covers. they take away from the raw emotion of something great underneath. and besides they hold in that tiny bit more of heat..lol

the FRC (as in Fixed Roof) should have just been called a 'Coupe' and the 'Coupe' should be called a Targa, as all other brand/model of cars in the world.

Guess Corvette just had to be different (and confusing)

Now, you do have 'valve covers' painted/molded into your FRCs, so you have permission to call them anything you want

I powdercoated my valve covers red and my coil brackets silver to add a little bling with my supercharger.

I knew I wasn't going to be able to fit the FRCs back on and the engine and it looked rather bland with stock colors.
