Finally got it done! Thanks orange devil for all your help! I think it will finally stick. Only time will tell of course. Now I have to figure out how to get that center cover off and paint it red.

Under the fuel rail covers, there are two bolts on each side with a rounded top that the rail covers snap onto. They can be removed with a long neck socket, I think it is a 10 or 12 MM. That will loosen the cover. There are also some wires clopped to the side of the engine cover that need to be removed before the cover will pull free.

10 mm deep on a 1/4 drive ..works perfect and a trim removal tool for the clips that hold the wiring harness for the side and the top of the cover ..looks good by way

Looks awesome! How many coats of paint did you apply?

I had my coil covers airbrushed. I know they sanded the covers to make them smooth. I don't know what other things they did to prep the surface, but they came out nice, but were costly.
