Bleh, rage2 is always busy and Toma's closed... Those Home Depot couplers suck so bad man... Waiting for the new charge pipes to be painted and then I gotta get brackets made for the new IC and bring the BOV home... 2 weeks. Yeah, and wtf is up with that rust. The person who made it must've cheaped out on material :dunno: :guns:

the wheel paint withstands heat up to 350-400F... ill snap some picts next weekend after a week of driving..

Just gotta make sure you clean it really well with a strong degreaser

sorry i dont have close ups. i had the red one done about 4 years ago and it was cheap! $40 for the intake, and $30 for the valvecover. the blue one was a little more, i guess they werent making enough.
