Question Question about fuel rail cover.

How hard would it be to take some filler and fill in the word Corvette and everything else. Then paint the whole cover white? How much work am I looking at here?

shouldn't be too hard if you use a good filler (not bondo brand and not reinforced) then a good primer and a paint for plastics

Our covers are 1/8" thick aluminum, bent to conform to the curves of the Corvette stock parts, grained, anodized, then engraved as shown.
Edit: But, the confusing part is that most of them say "When used with stock Corvette fuel covers" or something like that, whereas the FBody ones don't say anything... still seems likle all of them are made to go over the corvette covers, tho.

Yea, the MBA stuff is nice, but very expensive.

I've seen plenty of F-Body LS1s with the Corvette fuel rail covers that have been filled in & painted, so it can't be that hard to do it to the LT1 covers. I wonder if you would have to do any cutting to them like the LS1 ones though.
