Very nice.... That bottom bolt on the elbow is a PITA isn't it? I had to shorten my bolt to make it work.

Did the same thing to my upper intake, brackets, alt. case and elbow. WELL worth it in how it cleans up the car and ease to keep clean.

Wow man that looks great....I wonder how that color would work with my current exterior color combo

I think I should also be looking at fabbed VC's as well....they really sharpen up and engine bay

d00d that is so clean that at first glance it looked like a well done model.

:OT: where did you get your valve covers from? they look really nice.

I believe that powdercoat color is Silver Vein. We used to use it a lot at work. My mounting plate for my Zex kit looks just like it.
