4.6L fuel rail covers

Ok, now that we have the cover on the intake of our CS's, just wondering if anybody has seen the matching fuel rail covers that are available for the engine too? I'm on the fence about buying them since I can't get a straight answer on how they attach - I would expect them to attach to studs like the intake cover does... Anybody have them and can you give your feedback on the quality of them?

Cool Check It Out.

Nice, but polished or chrome cam covers are way cooler! See Taco Bill's install on same here at this forum.

Yea, I actually have a possible in for a free set of the power coated blue cam covers..... Not sure if I want the blue or black but the chrome I know I can't get for free - I think the powder coated pair sells for like 299 and the chrome is close to 600.00 for the pair........ Another reason I am still on the fence!!!

IMO, if you have a daily driver the covers would be easier to keep clean IMO.

Cool Showem' your power!

Very clean and a pretty sharp looking addition. But it is kind of a shame, to cover up that all aluminum, OHC, 4.6L BA small block rocket motor you have. Wires and all. It looks very BA Tech to me!! I showem', my Stang mill, all polished, sparkled up and ready to go! Just Me. Old school hot roddin scene.

Doug - Thanks for the photo - can you tell me how they attach to the fuel rail or intake? And do they appear to be good quality and match the factory intake cover? Im debating on new cam covers or just adding the fuel rail covers... Thanks in advance..

I have custom painted ones with black body and redfire ribs and a plenum cover to match. It really sets the car off. My rail covers came with "MAG" metal brackets that mount to the long bolts by the rails. They serve as the bottom frame of the rails. They were a pain to install on my car, but it was worth it.

I have had these rails installed for the past few months and I think they look GREAT! There is also a Canadian distributor near Edmonton named Darren who is great to deal with.

MAG covers are on our '07 GTCS, and they match the plenum perfect.

Not hard at all to install.

The stainless steel brackets fit on top of the cam covers and the fuel rail covers screw on to these brackets. Well worth the time to fit them.
They tidy up the engine by hiding the cables and fuel rail, but you can still see some of the cam cover, which if you clean/polish it looks good.
