I'm looking at Afterthoughts fuel rail covers, Just wondering how they fit ? How does the paint hold up to the engine heat? Thanks in advance Posted by Kevin V 2002 SS (Member # 1025) on :
Can you get them special designed or just plain???
I've never heard of any FRC's that couldn't handle the engine heat, though I know a couple of folks who didn't use heat paint to paint theirs and it peeled off.

They make them painted to your request and have vinyl decals available:

Exactly my concern Posted by CamaroSS2002LE (Member # 2023) on :
I ordered as set from them and they look and fit great. Order a roll of Cool Tape when you order them and make sure you cover the back of the FRC's with the tape before you put them on. Then heat is not a problem. Also get some masking tape and tape the front side and around the cutout for the dip stick and oil fill to prevent scraping the paint when you put them on.

The guy who did mine, now does the ones for afterthoughts. Check out my site of more photos. Posted by CamaroSS2002LE (Member # 2023) on :
Yep, those are exactly like mine. I'm trying to get as much bling as Travisnd1 but have a ways to go yet. But it gives me something to work on. Just got some of the SS air valve caps and SS license plate caps. They look great and keeps the addiction placated for a bit.

Thanks for the responses; did you guys with the LE's have to special order that paint color, or is that the "standard red" Afterthoughts offers? Thanks again!
Posted by Travisnd1 (Member # 1982) on :
I did pay extra for color matching.

I'm pretty new to all this so please forgive the stupid question. Are the FRCs for cosmetic purposes or do they offer some performance enhancement?

all cosmetic

The fuel rail covers from afterthoughts are nice but I got mine from Tim and Teri Lane. They fit fine with no problems . They are the Red ZO6 style with Camaro SS on them . Posted by 35th6spd (Member # 1243) on :
