turbo turd s10 lets start off i owned this s10 for about 8 years. It started life as a lowrider with airbags and 22in wheels butt yes it always had a v8. The tired old lt1 took a **** going home one day after work. From here the truck has been frame off painted and replaced now with the 4 ls based motor.
the frame was striped to bare and painted

Do you plan to paint out the "Turbonetics" script on the compressor housing? Sorry, but I've always hated the look of those turbo's because I feel the marketing departing went *way* overboard with the branding. They should pay advertising fees to everyone running one of those. The least they could have done is use a smaller and much more attractive font. Painting the script green to match your engine/truck or even just removing the red paint would keep it from clashing.
