Default Lets see your Valve Covers & Underhood pics

My car is black & I just did a whole new top end. I have the FAST 90/90 with Fast Fuel Rails & Kooks Coated 1 7/8 Headers with MSD Red Wires & MTI Clear Lid.

I have been detailing my Engine Bay like crazy. But the Coil Packs & Valve Covers where not acceptable. Should I paint them or just rinse them off real good & try & polish them back to new?

I don't want to paint them Black since my coil packs are Black & it would just blend in. I just want them to look nice & simple?


Thanks guys
Seb

Travis, car looks sick. How did you paint all those pieces black? Rattle can or auto paint? Also, did your lid come with the air plug or did you buy one? and if so where?

where can i get that little lip that goes in front of the air lid? looks like it helps direct airflow upwards in to the lid and intake.

nice looking cars..well anyway below is a pic of the ones that will be on my car in a few weeks when i do my h/c swap, they aren't as bright as they look in the picture and honestly look better in person. Also does anyone else besides thunder racing make a coil relocation kit?

Coil packs don't HAVE to be ugly.. they just need to be cleaned up.
