What do you guys think i should do for a lid? Black, clear, or painted?

What about the intake and valve covers? leave them alone? or paint/powdercoat them? what colors?

Thanks travisnd. Not a big fan of bling. Like to keep it nice and sleek. Will probably never be as clean as yours. I can try though. Do you know when Hrfbody might be back up?

Did you make the black covers? I was thinking of doing something similiar with the headlights like what 6LE was selling, but haven't found anything that I like. HRF should hopefully be back up soon. In the meantime everyone is at www.eastcoastdomestics.com.

Yes I made them from some scrap metal laying around. When I made the ones for directly behind the headlights I pulled out basically everything you can see except the bumper cover and repainted before I put it back in. The next project is to make a panel to cover the pcm.

Never really thought about making and selling them. I guess I could get back to you on that. Didn't take long and I just used a piece of cardboard to get the shape. Transfered it to the metal and a little paint. I'll think about it an see if its something I want to do. Thanks

Buddy's nitrous Camaro. Ran a best of 5.6X in the 1/8th on a 1.28 60ft @ 122ish I believe. Now going turbo. I think this is the nicest/simplest looking engine bay ever. I absolutely LOVE the smoothed and filled HVAC space.

I'll take a shot at this.... SO much work done that you can't even notice, it's almost frustrating!
