they're really not too hard to install. its just kinda sad because you have to cut the rails in a couple places and push some hoses around for them to fit, and the corvette flags are way in the back where you can barely see them. i paid 70 bucks for mine and im not so sure it was worth it.

I used that site to install mine, the most useful info on that site is the part #s. Other than that it's just basically test fitting them to determine where to make your cuts. I personally didn't like putting something that said corvette on my trans am. So I filled in the corvette badges (actually pulled them off) and filled in the holes from the badges and the lettering with some bondo and repainted them. To see some pics go here

I was pretty happy with how they turned out I think they clean up the engine bay and well worth the money

If you guys don't like corvette covers saying "Corvette", we (at MBA Products) also machine fuel rail cover plates. There's a picture on the main page at http://www.mbaproducts.com, and many different versions if you follow the Engine Trim -> Top Dress link. They're works of art!

Andris, at MBA

Here's how I cut the driver's side:

For a long time, I didn't use the hose at all. If you don't, the cover (driver's) won't be flush against the valve cover. I broke those damn fuel rail tabs like 5 times, regluing them with everything from Pooper Glue to BJ Weld to a glue gun. I think there's too much stress on those tabs if you don't route the brake booster hose around the valve cover.
