Once it's fit I'm gonna polish it and the intercooler pipe and the intake manifold and paint the cam cover.

I saw this cover in-person yesterday. It's NICE B) ! And with you plans of polishing this cover, I/C pipe and intake mani, it's gonna look hot! Definitely will make the engine bay more stealth :ph34r: and clean looking. Awesome idea Adam!

For those of you paint engine bay parts (ie. spark cover, throtle cover, strut bar)...do you guys do this yourself or take it to a shop?

I want to paint some parts....is it as easy as removing the piece, cleaning, sanding, prime coat, and spraying on heat resistant paint ?

Thinking of paint some parts sonic blue to set of the yellow....

Let's set something up!!

I hate to break it to you guys, but the shop's not much to look at. It's pretty much a little tiny hole in the wall. Bordas can tell ya. I'm just good at making something with nothing. ;)

See ya Saturday though!!
Adam

Danny, if you wanna tint the S60R on Saturday let me know so I can put it on the books.

Adam, +1 on the earlier question - how / why does your engine have two oil fill holes?

You replace the rear freeze plug with an oil fill neck.

They just "pop" out (the plug and the filler).
