Default Painted LS6 w/ polished stock fuel rails

I just bought a LS6 intake off someone from this board and decided to paint it before putting it on. I sanded it down so there are no casting marks. I primed it and then painted it red. I also polished my fuel rail (not 100% done). The intakes a little dusty from sitting in my shed. Crappy pics, but here you go:







ill get pics up tomorrow after its installed.

I'd need to see it clean, it still looks like its very textured.

you need to clearcoat those stock fuel rails when polished, they will rust to hell if you don't.

Wire mod is when you hide all the wires on top of your shock tower underneath it by drilling a hole and feeding them through.

ASR mod is when you relocate the ASR module underneath the cowl by the PCM

There is sticky's for them in the "appearance hall of fame"
