I had been planing on having both valve covers, the supercharger, my new LFP intercooler reservoir, and the steeda CAI cover all polished. Do you guys think that will be alittle much. I was starting to think about painting the valve covers the body color (Zinc Yellow), and then painting black flames from the front to the back. Then I will go ahead and polish the rest of those pieces.
So give me your opinions on this idea. Is it too ricey or do you think it will look good. :shrug: I would like to paint black flames on the car later on (at least a year or two).
I could powder coat them also (how hard is it for them to match a body color in the powder coat?) The reason I thought about adding flames is because they would be bright yellow. I think a solid color to match the body is great on white, black, or maybe blue. But Zinc Yellow, I thought that might stand out alittle much. So I figured the flames would break that up some. Give me some more opinions, I need to make a choice soon, so I can get the car back together.
If someone is thinking about thaking their valve covers off, let me tell you it is a pita. The drivers side took forever, I dont think I would have done it had I known it would be this much trouble. I had to take the front seat out to get under the dash, and it still was not easy. For a 6 foot 2 guy 275lbs it doesnt make it much easier even with the seat out. Putting it back together is going to be real fun (I am going to have to bleed the brakes since I removed the hydra-booster).
Here are the pics. I didnt clean anything up before the pics so everything is scattered.
I posted this in another section, but I think it will get more attention here.
