What is the part number for the GM fuel Rail covers?

What kind of paint did you use on your intake? Any application tips besides use common sense?

THANKS

They're doing OBD2 scans now to detect mods or deletes to the program (not sure how it works). The EGR pipe is ugly. Now that everything else is so nice looking it really stands out. Besides, we worked hard to fix the SLP brainfart on that thing. Unfortunately, it'll stay. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

Man, that really does look great. I was also planning on painting my intake silver to go with some carbon fiber FRCs and a Carbon Fiber lid.
If I may offer two easy suugestions for the engine bay....replace the accordian with a Baker Hose....and use some aluminum polish on that AC can with the sticker in the first picture...it will shine up real nice in 5 minutes...actually all of the metal lines in the engine bay will shine up with Mother's Aluminum Polish...
