Default Fuel Rails that work with oem manifold?

I'm in search of fuel rails that will work with the stock 08 ls3 manifold. Does anyone have any input as to which ones will work? It's more for aesthetics than anything as I clean up my engine bay. I am looking for red to match what I have started.

I see these in black: http://www.jegs.com/p/Holley/Holley-...13534/10002/-1





Thanks for any help.

Most any for any LS3 because the crossover goes on the front.

From what I have seen these work for 08+ C6's also.

I suppose I could do these and then change the manifold cover so the rails will stand out in black and not blend in. http://www.jegs.com/p/Holley/Holley-...13534/10002/-1

Fuel rails powdercoated and installed.

Before and After. Sorry for the quality of the after pics, took them with my phone and it's dark outside.

Looks good! Get a Red Top OPTIMA and then the battery will match!

Thanks!

That is a good Idea.

Changing all of the coolant hoses to red also.

Instead of metal clamps, try these, I think you will like them.

I put them on other cars. I have black silicone hoses in my garage, just haven't had time to install.

Zoro industrial has the best price, about the same as metal clamps.

That looks great! I want to do the same thing to my 05. What valve covers are those? Where did you find the red coil packs?

Thanks!

The valve covers are made by proform and the coils are oem - I just painted them with caliper paint.

Here is my post with the part numbers from when I did it. Post #19
