The Powder Pro's NBM Powdercoating Pictures Here are a few pictures...it's hard to take pictures of, but I think it came out awesome. Everyone who has seen it in person agrees that it definitely gives the engine bay a much nicer look 
...
Special thanks to Sean (SilverGhost here on LS1Tech) for powdercoating my stuff and for helping me out and putting up with my car.
Let me know what you think.

No...not yet. Sean lives nearby so I dropped off the LS6 Intake at his house and I had an extra throttle body so I gave him my ported one and put the stock one on my car while he powdercoated my stuff. He already had extra MAF sensor cores. That way I didn't have to have my car down at all. Next, I'm thinking about have my valve covers and my calipers also powdercoated in NBM.

Thanks for the pics Phil, I'm happy with the way your parts turned out
I have two sets of brake caliper cores sitting here, so no down time there either if you want NBM calipers. Although after the battle your car gave me on that intake swap we'll see if i feel like installing those too lol. I always forget what a pain it is to navigate a stock engine bay with all the stuff in the way compared to my Camaro. You saw me rip my intake off in 5 minutes lol.
I had valve cover cores also but someone else needed them so they are sold and soon to be powdecoated. Valve covers I can do in a couple hours if you want them done, car wouldn't be down more than a day.

Just ordered some NBM calipers today, cant wait to see them.
Sean's be very helpful and its nice that the car wont be down any longer than what it takes to swap the calipers out. Definately recomend anyone wanting PC done to shoot Sean a PM.

Thanks Adam, I appreciate the kind words, I'm sure you will love the NBM calipers
bballr--You have a black car? here you go.something tells me a rattle can won't look like this, and it will for sure not be as durable, you get what you pay for sometimes my friend

An LS6 intake as pictured is $139. Throttle body is $70(add porting for $65). MAf ends are $35. Throttle bodies and MAF ends are always shaved/smoothed of factory castings and part numbers prior to powdercoating.
FAST intake is $169 which included letters handpainted in color of your choice and then super gloss clear over everything. Same as the black FAST I just posted a pic of.

Yea I know it wont look nearly as good but got to outweight the pros and cons of doing it. On a non show car that will never really show off the underside of the hood a $10 rattle can job will do.
