Default New Product? Maybe?

Thinking about making these fuel rail covers in carbon fiber.
Might do a group buy at $179 a set shipped.
Anybody interested?

These would show off those red coil packs very nicely....

Prototypes shown in hydrocarbon so you can get the idea...

To be honest with you, not really digging the look as shown. It might look better with the red coil packs and a set of polished/chromed billet valve covers. But others may disagree and if you make the product, best of luck with it.

But as a person with 100% stock set up and never cleans under the hood he never going to buy nothing anyway... BUT AGAIN ALOT OF GUYS IN HERE WITH A TON OF BLING UNDER THE HOOD.... BUMP for you buddy..... By the way is there any way you can do the coils without doing any damage to them........Robert

I've seen something like this already I think on one of Vette Nuts white Z06. His seem to be a little larger and covers a little more. I think he made his just for himself and not for selling. Maybe he will have it at Corvette Expo for showing.

This is my car and all I did was pull off the FRc's so I could take this pic. Actually they are intended to show off the red coil packs and chrome lines and stuff. I am trying to see if there is any interest before I make the investment to produce the molds.
