Default Did a little bit under the hood these past few months... UPDATED PICS 3/1/12
So I bought a set of JBA shorties and had them ceramic coated locally. Turned out great. Also installed a set of Holley Polished valve covers. Painted my coils to match the car. I then had my brother in law(owns his own Multi Media business) cut me some custom Pontiac arrow heads to fit the coils. Threw a set of MSD wires on too. I mocked up a custom intake with a carbon fiber tube and painted the ugly PS reservoir. I also sanded the A/C, brake,fuel and PS lines where I could and polished them too. Also painted all caps flat black and letters red.
Just thought I would share. Feed back is encouraged... good or bad

Thanks!!
Yeah but I am not worried about the xtra 10-30 hp. The shorties(on GTO's ) are MUCH easier to install than long tubes and I went more for looks. I am not planning on tracking it any more. Its more of a show car now, 18,000 miles, no rain/snow.etc. Just tired of breaking thing at the track.

Looks amazing. An idea popped in my head to put just one pontiac symbol and then G T O on the last 3 coils? I think that would look good too. Awesome job though.

That is awesome man, best looking coils I have seen. I painted mine red too but the arrow heads are a great touch.

The FAST and braided lines still have me beat. LOOKS GREAT!! Braided is my next thought along with a different fuel rail.
