Kewl thanks, I was just on there site. Looks like a good place. If you don't mind me asking, how much was it?

Since it was a two stage candy it was 250 plus shipping both ways.

if the blower is off, do you still need to remove the brake booster?

Yes. That's the way I did it.

The only other way I have heard of pulling them off is to unbolt the motor mounts and jack the drivers side of the engine up some. (I opted for removing the brake booster and master cylinder. It wasn't too difficult.)

I just finished doing mine. Even with the booster unbolted, and pulled out of the way, the driver's side was still a bitch to do! I didn't disconnect the brake lines, but if I were to do this job again, I would definitely unhook them from the master to give the booster more room to move out of the way. I unbolted the proportioning valve, and that helped, but you can only move it up a certain amount before the lines become a real "hangup"!

WOW i was for the black until I saw those torch red ones on that Merc. Thats what I may go after instead of black or polished.
Those red fire turned out really well and I am sure look even better in person

 

[snkepit]

Black

Yeah that drivers side is defintly a pain in the ass to remove, I opted to unbolt and remove the master cylinder/booster... it was still kind of a pain in the ass.

I say (Candy Red Metallic)

Holy old thread lol

 

[ModularMike]

FRPP Blue Crinkle.. get the powdercoat at PowderBuyThePound.com, its Blue Oval Racing Blue Crinkle

 

[samuel]

i say chrome them.

 

[99stanger]

I say, I hope you made a decision by now.

 

[blksvtCOBRA714]

Ha yes I have. I went with the candy red metallic last summer, but this thread tends to pop up every now and then.

 

[Ironhand]

Im stuck between Wrinkle black and flat black but black non the less.

 

[Stalker27]

Looks really good but now the blower sticks out like a sore thumb. Youn should paint it black now & hit the throttle body plenum with either black or red. I'm too late but i was going to suggest black cherry for the covers

 

[03DsgDarkHorse]

You gotta go with a redfire or a deep metallic red. That would make the whole engine bay just pop. i saw a few cobras with the redfire valve covers and they add an amazing touch, especially since it looks like you have a few deep red accents under there already

 

[Cobrakai04]

do you have to powder coat them? cant you just paint them with a high temp paint?

I really like the redfire :rockon:

 

[Spoolx]

Black wrinkle is definitely badass though, finally got mine in the mail the other day:

I love this look!
If it wasnt so much work to get them off I would do it.

On a side note does everyone just powdercoat them?
