Default Had some powder coating done
did the valve covers,MAF ends, and coil brackets. Painted the coils a ultra flat black because i really didn't want to take anything away from the covers and brackets,I wanted them to stand out. Also polished and painted the fuel rail with Krylon X metals

before

fuel rail

covers and brackets

complete

Looks good! I have one of those oil caps if anyone wants one. Don't need it with my new valve covers.

Not my style, but it looks good. The fuel rails don't really match with everything else though.

Looks good, just too much red in my opinion. I would have gone with gloss black.

However, to each their own, still looks good.

I do think it looks great, but i have this thought that the red cables and hoses resemble wire loom imo, i think if ya lost that it would look better, but thats imo, it does look very killer so dont think im not giving you props,and its your car so mo doesnt mean anything,again great work

What's with the overspray in the cowl? Or is that something else?
