I know you have seen some other pictures of these but we were so happy with how they turned out we wanted to share.

Mike does a fine job with these.
Keep it safe.

LOOKS great - but REAL tight against that BMR STB! I too have the BMR STB, am I correct in assuming the brace must come off to install the covers - or even to remove/replace them after initial installation? Also, are ANY modifications needed to the covers to make them fit?

'98 Red SS - #2712 - One of 84 so equipped - T-tops - leather - Monsoon system - SLP/Y2Y - pretty much all SLP options - BMR STB - SLP SFC's - Direct Flow Lid - K&N air filter - more to come... OH, yeah - *I* use Zaino too...

Posted by Derek C (Member # 125) on :

That looks like the SLP STB, see the SLP performance parts sticker? I did not have to modify my #18 covers on my '00. I can't answer the STB Q though because I don't have one.

Posted by 98redSS (Member # 239) on :

You're probably right about the brand of STB - can't read the sticker - but still curious about removing the covers for occasional detailing or service - a REAL pain to have to remove the STB if it IS required...

They look great - how much trouble was the install?

I emailed Mike quite a while ago. I don't know where I stand on the list. I really like the look.

The STB is from SLP, it is close to the covers but does not touch. The covers are easy to remove after you remove the STB. Takes about 15 minutes to remove and replace after the the brace is removed, a crows foot helps get the brace off quickly. All together about 30 miutes, taking your time. The covers get easier to remove after you do it a couple of times. Hardest part is getting the hose off that runs along the back and getting it hooked back up. Worth the work though.

Mary &Ralph glad to see you guys got the fuel rail covers on. Looks great sure is a clean looking engine bay compared to looking at all the factory wiring.

MaryandRalph,

Covers look GREAT! See I told you it gets easier, patience is all it takes. I hope you saved the silver tape for the fuel lines you'll need it if you take the covers off.

I was told that the covers have to modified to fit the Camaro as opposed to a Corvette. Is this true? And if so, can you tell that the covers from Mike have been modified from what Chevrolet offers?
Any input will help.
Thanks.

The covers from mike are already modified to fit our cars. Mike does a great job of making these fit and look great. I had no cutting or alterting to do what so ever. These are a top grade modification from Mike and I highly recomend them.

Paul, Per your instructions we did save the tape just in case. Thanks again for the help with the "short cuts" on how to install! Mary read yor instructions while I installed them, what a team!

Below RE The hints that Paul sent to us via e-mail. Thanks to him the install time was shortened.

First of all you want to either remove the
plastic push pins that hold the weather stripping down next to the windshield. These will kill the back of your hands.... I removed them all plus the rubber weather stripping. I don't figure the SS will be in many rain storms so I got rid of it. My bad! Also on the fuel rails there are black/white loops that hold the wire harness for the injectors, you have to remove all of them for the covers to sit flat and snug. I used tie wraps to hold the harness to the fuel rail instead. Remove the STP if you have one. Pull the oil cap and dip stick off. Remove the heat tape from the fuel lines and seperate them. I cleaned them up with isopropyl rubbing alcohol and coated them with Zaino tire gloss. THIS, is the biggest thing to do to make the whole installation easy, and that is to pull the large black hose that comes up from the exhaust. It's on one side and swings all
the way over to the other side in the back. Pull the clamp off the hose and pull hose off of the exhaust, that hose is the biggest thing that's in the way and hampers you putting the covers on. I leave the clamps off because the hose is a pain in the A$$ to pull off all the time. Its a snug fit so its not going anywhere to fall off. I didn't have them clamped at Limerock and they never
seperated at all. Also left the covers off at Limerock for better circulation of heat.
If you do all this to start off with the covers will go on smoother and faster. You have to struggle with it to find what works for you, I did. Good luck! Paul Lech F98-2015

Good luck Mary and Ralph F99-3312
