I am currious if fuel rail covers will fit with the SLP strut tower brace... it looks a little tight and I don't want to buy them and then they won't fit... if you have pics to post also that would be great! [ 18. January 2004, 01:33 AM: Message edited by: MM ] -------------------- 2002 SS #5973

The SLP STB is a little shorter than the others, makes for a tight fit.

On the Afterthoughts FRC page, it says that theirs will NOT go under SLP STB, but there should not be an issue with Hotchkiss or BMR....looky here. I plan to get the black/chrome ones as soon as $$ allows. My STB is a DGOETZ Signature Series which he designs to look like SLP's but clear FRC's; bet he could make you a deal on one & you might sell your SLP one to offset the cost...just a suggestion.... Please excuse dirty engine....was before BG cleanup!! hahaha!! [ 18.

I bought the BMR STB, b/c i was told the the SLP did not clear the FRC's. The BMR STB clears the FRC's by about a inch or so. -------------------- Travis 2002 35th Anniversary SS #1757Click here to see my 35th LE SS!

I have the BMR STB & the Corvette FRC's. There's lots of room (approx. 1/2-3/4" clearance) See linked pic, below. JohnS's engine compartment [ 19. January 2004, 08:16 AM: Message edited by: JohnS ]
