It is a crinkle black finish over cast with the logo polished. I know crappy cell phone pics and they don't do them justice. Once I get the engine back home I will take some good pics with the wifes dslr. They are made in the good ole US of A in California. Should look pretty good I think with the engine and dress up stuff I have for it. I like that they are tall and empty inside with tons of room. Should keep rocker noise down as well.

Yep.... never have had an issue with one. If I feel frisky one day I may do away with it.

Nothing but oem. In fact I am still using my old opti which has over 100k miles on it. Still in perfect condition and checks out perfect.

No not yet. Jerry should be back Tue/wed from trip then he can balance it. After that Corey can put it all together and back into my hands. I'm still waiting on comp to send me my Damn dowel pins for the cam. I still have a lot to do on my end of things before I fire it all up as well. Couldn't do anything last weekend because I was out of town in Indy for the NASCAR race. This week though I am working later in the day so my mornings and afternoons are free for me to do some things.
