Default painted fuel rail cover idea

I got my vette fuel rail covers on and looking for imput on painting them and the intake cover. Here is what I came up with to match the stripes on my hood. I would also paint the radiator cover also to match. What do you think?

Yeah everybody I have talked to has said you have to hack them up I was going to do the vette covers but decide I didnt want to hack everything up so I got the esc covers instead.

I had to do quite abit of trimming to them. I had to remove some brackets that were there and make my own custom bracket to hold them. The hardest part was the wires that come off the intake on the drivers side. I had to zip tie them closer to the intake to go under the cover.

Thats a good idea, I like it... I wonder where fogle is at with 1slow01z71's covers

I think i might take my denali covers and sand the 6000 vortech logo down smooth and paint everything onyx black to match the truck.. and maybe put some type of logo on the middle piece in red... not sure yet.
