Ahh well after painted all the stuff and putting it back together, I really don't like it to much.
Note however that the wires are hidden pretty well.

This made me decide two things.
1- I'm not going to be painting these things again, they will be powder coated. Black that is.
2- I am going to be trimming the brackets
I spent about an hour today with a pen tracing around my coils and marking areas that will be deleted when i get the dremel out.
Might be a little bit before I can get to cutting as I am busy as crap next week, but I make sure to post up pictures before they get powder coated.
What is the members name on this site that specializes in the powder coats?

Yeah I bought some black engine paint (semi gloss) so I could black out the white rubber back section, and then i just lightly dusted them all over with 2 to 3 coats. I wanted them to look somewhat natural because they had faded. I'm really happy with the way the coils turned out.

He does good however he is extremely expensive. I suggest talking to a few people around to see who does powder coating and see some of their work and prices.
My buddy got his MAF ends/valve covers/TB/timing cover done for under 175$. That was sand blasting/prepping/etc etc and they came out perfect.

Nicely done man.. The red on red clashes horribly however. Getting the valve covers black will complete this little project (as well as some trimming).

Yes I sent him a pm for a quote, I'm also going to ask the local guy that my body shop works with how much he will do it for and compare the two.
I will most likely keep it local just to avoid shipping cost.

So I laid out my brackets and looked at them for a while thinking how would be the best way to trim them up. Broke out the sharpie and started drawing.
This is what I came up with and I'm sorry for the bad quality.

I was pretty eager to get started as I won't be able to get back to them until next weekend, so I broke out the compressor and the grinder and got to work.
This is as far as I got tonight.

To give you an idea of where the material was removed from, here are the pieces laying on the other intact bracket.
