Cool New valve covers

Before you ask about the color, it's an Eagle color we did up for some of our displays and what not. I love it, and think it is the perfect contrast!

More to come in the next few weeks just waiting on all my parts to come on

Mine continued to get worse and worse, I couldn't stand it! The problem with paint is with what these are made out of ( contains a lot of magnesium if I remember correct ) the paint won't last very long. Powder coating is cheap enough if you have someone local, I paid less then $50 for these to be done!

I was not so sure about the color until they were installed... definitely a nice contrast

Thanks Doug. When you decide you want some I'll drop my stockers off at the PC's!

Funny you should ask, just finished re-running my fuel line I'll get some better pictures outside of my garage, for some reason my camera has a hard time focusing with the light!

The valve covers look good, but I really like your fuel rails too.

I had my valve covers epoxy coated by HardKore Metal Finishing and they came out great. They have a set of 05-06 valve covers already polished in the shop also. I even had my brakes epoxy coated and they still look good after +8 months.

I had actually talked to you about getting a set done, the cost just wasn't practical for me though. I spent less than $50 on those and didn't have to ship them to and from. Just simplified things for me!

Them polished covers = hard work. I have a set of polished covers in my garage. I got chrome ones installed.

Thanks man! Should have a bunch more stuff taken care of by the weekend, just waiting on another part so I can get it all to the Powder coater.

Here are a few more shots I got this weekend outside of the garage:
