its actually REALLY easy. just sand it till the powdercoating comes off(just the fins, tape off anything around what your sanding). start with a 120ish grit, then 200, then 400, then 600,, blah, blah, and work your way up to 2000 grit. BAM, it looks pimper now

nice, what was the cost to get it powdercoated? We don't even have a powercoater in the county I live in.

Looks nice! was tinking of going black perhaps down the road with mine, my car right now has it painted to match the car. But unfortunetly when the radiator exploded before I owned it (and never cleaned off) its got green spots along with other areas under the hood...

If you don't mind my asking how much do you have into your motor? I'm going for a similar set up with mine since it needs freshening. Looks awesome by the way!

If I add it all up it scares me. Approx 9k, 383, forged rotating assembly, LE ported heads, intake and cam, Kooks headers, bigger injectors,tb......... Basically everything is new or improved. I don't regret one dime of it either!
Spanking mustangs and imports, and yes the alrighty (not a typo) then ls1 owners is just icing on the cake.
