Still need to wetsand them both. I'll be damned if I put ANYTHING on that lid.

The first one is the lid with just the body color. The color is a little off thanks to color correct on my phone!

It came out good man! I wouldn't put anything on that nicely painted lid, Oh and this is what I was talking about,

Looks good, what brand paint did you use on the lid? I'm having trouble matching pewter..in a can

I have PPG matched base from the paint shop. I'm pretty sure Duplicolor has light pewter metallic in their "Perfect Match" line.

That looks great. I might have to do similar thing with my FTP lid and my base.

What's next?!









Still need to wetsand a little more on the drivers side of the lower box, a bit of orange peel left. I should probably take out the front bumper support and paint that crappy plastic next. I'm happy!

You get rid of the cruise control, passenger side harness through the fender well, and your hood latch cable through the drivers fender well. All that and you sir one have and engine bay that I would be jealous of lol

And get rid of the thick *** AIR hoses also!


OP did you do any sanding on your lid or lower air box or any prep work on them? They look great!

Agreed, sir. I did the wire mod on my last two cars, and I bought a 2 pack of 2" rubber grommets for the hole through the fenderwell. I cannot for the life of me find a 2" rubber grommet again. I don't wanna do it until I find one, I want it to look clean. Lowe's or Home Depot, maybe? Thanks though dude!

Thanks man! The air lid is MTI, and they are not built flat, they have a texture to them. I sanded the face of the lid with an orbital sander, 160 grit. Then hand sanded it with 220, then 400 to make sure it was nice and smooth. I wasn't as concerned for the other sides having the texture in it. The lower air box did not get any sanding. Then a dust coat of primer, then 2-3 good coats. Wetsanded that with 600, then 1000.

Great job man, enjoyed the pics. The black wheels look great too.

Paint bumper support, headlight brackets, TB, MAF ends, intake, do !wire mod and hide the cruise control?

Sweet! I've been wanting to do mine but I wasn't sure on which grits to use so I'll probably tackle it this weekend. Another tip, paint the bolts that hold down the lower air box

Thanks man!!!

Should I do everything black? I was actually just going to leave the intake alone for once! Coils are gonna be painted pewter. I think I'm gonna sand down the valve covers and just clean up the metal, leave them like that.

Paint them black you mean?

Nice progress! You need to lose those exhaust tips though...bad. Lol. Needs a good set of wheels too. Maybe a sunoco hood? Then it'll be perfect!

Yes I know, I don't like the exhaust tips. Mother f*%king Flowmaster..
