Default Had the intake powder coated

Just thought I'd show off the intake a little. Precision Powder Coating in Spring (north Houston) did it for me. I still need to sand the paint off the fins and polish them up a little, but I'm happy with how it turned out.

I think it looks good as is, if you sand the tops and not clear over I'm sure the paint will start to chip away

Actually, I was thinking about that last night. I might just get some chrome vinyl overlays and see how those work out.

$160, they cleaned and coated it.

The vinyl overlays finally came in, and I polished up the fuel rails.
