No they actually stay cool I figured since they sit under the hood they would be really hot but just double checked and they stay cool.
I will look into Carbon Fiber they do Hydrographics in that and might go that route. I'm still debating on what to do

I decided to go with the Lambo Orange for the intercoolers and intake piping. I will do the rubber couplers in black. I will also be doing the Valve Covers in Gloss Black as well once the car goes in for turbos and re doing everything else in Gloss Black under the hood. I will post pics once parts come back from powder.

Timmayfest is June 6th and 7th. If I end up with the CL65, I'll be making it with Steve this year. If you can't make it, how 'bout making WannaGoFast in Georgia in September. It's an anuual 1/2 mile race we've run the past two years.

This coming weeks sounds promising and if all goes well new pics will be posted with new updates. Since the intercoolers were a last min decision that is the only thing that could slow us down. Wheels with calipers should be back early this week.

My wheels came back and they turned out better than I expected thanks to the guys at Speedriven for the great turnout on these. The brakes are not done yet but should be back any time this week. I will post pics as soon as those come back as well. I'm debating getting a 20 inch drag radial for these before the tires go back on just to have some sort of traction.
I put the cap in gloss black in the wheel so you can see how it matches up the finish on the wheels is semi gloss black.

Tires are on and dropped of at Speedriven yesterday. Once the brakes are back the car should be slowly coming together. I will update you with updates as they come.
