Waiting on a couple things I'll be installing......but I'll post mine in a couple days :P

My engine bay is VERY similar! I wanted to powdercoat my lettering on my valve cover like that.......could not figure out how to do it so precise. Let me in on your secret man......check my gallery for my engine bay pics from like a year ago or more.

Here is a pic of mine:

i def. like the new better than the old stuff. i tried to message you but u have no free space haha

 

what is the deal with all the colored hosing under hood. it looks so tacky

 

idk just like it goes well with the car. didnt like the black wanted to make it different who likes to be original

 

originality is what every ricer claims lol. im not necessarily calling you a ricer, but that just looks cheap and tacky. its no different than someone with a blue car putting blue every where. hey wait a second.... didnt this forum actually ban a member for his ricer tendencies??? lol he had blue EVERYWHERE

 

Yeah....f*ckin site wont let me erase my PM's. SO pissed! Even emailed the site like a week ago with the issue.

 

hows it look cheap and tacky its just white compared to black not a difference really just because its not what the car comes out with not every1 is meant to like the samethings i guess so call it as you wish

 

So...think I fixed my PM's finally. Tell me how you got the lettering done on your VC. PM me if you like. I'm thinking on using some caliper(temp resistant) paint and one of those rollers...like for fingerprints....with no real cloth to them so it wont splatter or brush the rest of the VC.. Looks nice man

 

taken this afternoon...

 

oops, wrong person......meant to go to Angel. Sorry

 

im not a big fan of red but im digging it nice work. and yeah ill message you in a sec.

 

Mine: new powdercoated upper engine mounts in a couple days.....will get pics and repost :P

 

lol im confused which picture does your engine actually look like right now you keep posting different ones

 

because it draws attention to every single hose you put it on. black does not. therefore its tacky.

 

It's different cars and people posting man. LOL
Mine is the white valve cover and black pipes and intake manifold and white oil dipstick

 

that was the point...but i realize you dont like it so move on

 

You going to be at The Bash again this year man?

 

oh ok so your trying to paint the lettering black on ur vc

 

exactly

 

I have to agree with him. Color matched accents look nice. But they need to be suddle. You cant look at something and be overwelmed by white hoses and **** running everywhere you see. Sukxost did it pretty well with majority black and a color matched valve cover. If he had "Ecotec Turbo" in black it would look even better.

 

 

That was my point the last couple of posts....been wanting to do it ofr like a year now but very busy and its SO precise to do...I didn't want to **** it up. Plus I was not sure exactly how to do it but I'm going to get a very small roller with NO knap on it and use some caliper(heat resistant) paint and see how it comes out

 

unsure. if i am, you boys better bring it because im bringing 100 more hp.
