Right now, I just have these in black for sale.. PM me with an offer and this pretty black covers can be on the way.. It is a very easy install too.

Shardul had Viper red and White would get pretty nasty quick.

I didn't think these parts could be put in the oven due to the magnesium content?

Nitrogen B, actually the AMG valve covers and air tanks are an incredible prodcut to powder coat and modern coating stick to them great! They look great, easier to keep engine clean and most of all gets rid of that stock , dull boring dirty metal look.. Shardul and a few others have them on thier cars and I have had a set for 3 years now. Going to get my air tanks done next!

Just need a two star sockets as I recall and yes easy to do in your garage.. It takes about 40 min. to an hour. You also need a small amount of RTV for the small covers that fit ont he valve cover.. I think youi need one male and one female start head only to do the whole job.. It is really easy.

I can tell you in the next few days. Assuming my plugs show up tomorrow, I'll do the valve covers and plugs this weekend and go ahead and pull the expansion tanks for matching powder coat.

The removal/install looks very basic but, I've said that before and regretted it...

I'm traveling for work until Friday but, did manage to find the plugs, which should be here when I get home. Goal is to do it Friday night or over the weekend.

Thanks,

That looks great. I am thinking about doing mine. I have the ability to do my own, so skies the limit with color. I was thinking a crinkle black or red.
I did a bunch of stuff on my 911 motor, when I had it out and was doing some work on it.

Well worth the effort. Everyone always comments on how clean the engine is in the car but, when I got the covers out, they were just plain nasty. The pc covers really dress it up and dirt and grime is easily removed.

Grab the set from Brooke.
