Midwest Auto Gear Fuel Rail Covers

If you've got a Midwest Intake Cover, these fuel rail covers look awesome in the engine bay!

The fuel rail covers will also fit with the Ford cover and we have the paint color to match that cover. We are in the throws of building the tooling for these right now. If you want to get on an e-mail list to know when they are ready to ship, just go to our website and fill out the little form on the home page.

Looks like a great fit, but too much plastic for me.

I kinda like them. If anyone doesn't plan on changing the fuel rails to the anodized ones, this is a nice alternative, to cover up that area. Depending on how much these will cost, compared to getting a set of anodized blue fuel rails. I do like MAG's new website. You can customize any engine cover with any color. Very cool tool. Keep us up to date on this.

I love seeing motor parts. Why put a cover on everything? Easier to clean-up i guess. They probably look better painted

Darn, just what I need, more stuff to spend money on. They would look really good with the ribs painted to match the color of the car (same with the plenum cover).

And with better looking valve covers, which I'm still saving for.

This might be OT, but if you look at the top pics that Brad put up - does anyone notice that there is only 1 upper radiator hose?

i think they would look better if they covered the valve covers as well...i think it would flow alot better and look cleaner.....as they stand now it just looks odd.....

I'm not sure if I'm correct or not, but those strut tower covers CANNOT be used when the hood is down. The reason I said that, is Pypes Exhaust has a car with prototypes of these, and he told me that they can't be put on while the hood is down.

Yes, we gave a couple concept models to Pypes Exhaust last year for their SEMA car along with some of our other gear. Yes, you could not close the hood on those concept parts. The production parts do not have that issue however, the hood closes just fine with a tiny bit of room to spare. Also, you still will not be able to install them with the hood down.
