why don't you paint the K+N the same color as the intake and valve covers, I think that would look good IMO. Either way that color is killer, can't wait to see it finished.

Those brackets look good!

I think we're going to polish the K&N radiator cover. Painting might work as well.

Yeah, actually I take that back. The engine bay should be a jewelry box and the engine the gem... Polished would detract from the engine, it should be body color

That's gotta be one the best colors on a TA, I love red metallic paint jobs, (deep red like that)

Your using my favorite rims as well, the 545 in full polish,

You guys do awesome work.
