I took 795.0pacecar's advice on this one and instead of a flat black, I went with a metalic charcoal to match my car. I think it is a nice offset for the polished plaque and the polished TB, what do you think?? It looks a little darker in the pics, but I like it!!!
looks awsome. what brand of paint did you use, and where did you get it. im still debating as to wether i should paint all my accesory brackets like that, or do a aluminum colored silver. either way, looks nice man.
Thanks, I used Rustoleum Metallic and sanded the whole thing down real well, I'll tell you what, those fins are a bitch!! lol I used paint thinner on Q tips to get down in there and clean all those up. Hopefully it will hold up to the heat of the bay, there are 3 coats in that pics and I am contemplating doing another.
I also plan on painting up some of the brackets and such, make it a bit more appealing.
I like that color. Good job. I color matched my Explorer with left over paint from my car. But that intake will see Ebay real soon so I am sure the next guy will love the prep time to cover up my red..
I plan on trying to polish the IAC first, if I can't get it to look good, I will just paint it.
I had the most embarassing night ever just now though. I just got home from my GF's house, listen to this BS. So I took my GF out to eat at a nice italian place, then we went to meet up with some friends to Ice skate. Well afterwards, me, my GF, and my GF's friend went to her house to watch a movie. We get to her house at like midnight, then we realize we don't have any good movies to watch. I took her lil bro with me to get a movie, grandma's boy. We were all watching it in her basement when her dad came and said that my mom was there WTF!!!?!?!
This was like 1:25 BTW, and now I am more pissed then ever, b/c my mom is gay, its not even a big deal that we were watching a movie in her basement together, hell they are letting us have our own hotel room when we go to Clemson next month to check out the campus...
