Your thoughts

[hinds04]

just ordered some powered by svt coil covers and now I'm thinking of having my valve covers powdercoated. I am sticking to all torch red and black. I painted my eaton black when I got my port. Any thoughts? Im thinking valve covers red and coil covers black with red lettering? Still unsure.

I think that'd look pretty slick. Body matched valve covers with contrasting coil covers always look good, IMO.

Post up your current engine bay

Think I found it. Not a lot of red now, either should look good but im leaning towards black covers with red letter on the coil covers. Real sinister look

there she is

Yeah im with JeFe. Black Cam Covers with Red Coil covers and Black lettering. But the filp of that will be nice as well. To much red for me with the engine bay and red cam covers ..

Yeah, pretty much a cumulation of what everyone here said would be sick..... Do it, Post Pics. I need to paint me Stage V. Is there a how to or sticky on that somewhere?

Getting that drivers side cover off of there is not small feat. If you have the time and skill do it.

I just taped everything off when I had the blower off for the port, sanded and used black engine enamel

either blue or black would be good. i think the red would be to much "red"

hell the passenger side is no cake walk either....

but the drivers side does seem very intimidating if never done before. but once its off it goes back together pretty smooth.

I say do red.

It will be unique in the Terminator community, and you'll fit right in with the Type R/S2000/NSX crowd.

But seriously I don't think red would look bad. Even the blue ones which I really like look bad with certain colored cars like mystichrome. They sure as hell don't match DSG or CO among others.

You did your own powder coat? Huh?

On another note: I think blue valve covers would be OK in a DSG. It's Ford blue and the understanding why is there.....
