--changing the engine bay look a little--in a glossy kinda way

pulled the covers apart to redo the valve covers and thought i'd try something different so far i love it now just waiting for the valve covers and the surge tanks and all the bolts to come back from the powder coating shop than i will put it back together

one before:



and the after: the pic doesnt really show how glossy and sick it looks. In person it looks like the s/c is still wet


I'll post the rest of the pics when i get the parts back


and waiting for these to arrive and start building a fresh exhaust from the headers to the mufflers all 3" mandrel bend aluminized

That painted or powder? How did you do it? Does the housing all split down?

Happy that you want to be different. I don't like it but 2 Chainz does.

thanks, it was a titanium blue or w.e its called i have it somewhere i'll find it and see what the cans read. i know it was HIGH heat for sure

but i love the gloss much better so much easier and wont show dirt at all

and yah for you black might be to much unless your going for that murdered look

looks great - I often wondered if paining the S/C is good or bad for heat retention though...
