List update. Red Ryder PM'd me on September 2nd to be added to the list, but I forgot to. :bang: So I added him where he should have gone at the time. Sorry for the confusion and added wait for those already on list.
Also, just a note. The powder coat on the cam covers won't be perfect. Expect a few runs, fish eyes, popped bubbles, etc. They will look good, but definitely not a flawless finish, just to let you know. It's hard to tell from the pics, but when you get them, you will probably be able to find some blemishes. So if you're looking for perfection, this won't make you happy.
I however, love mine and get compliments all the time on them.
The List:
1. Hatchman - "Reflective Chrome" looks like "Satin Aluminum"
2. ChrisM - "Refl. Chrome/Satin Alum", Installed! Nice pics and feedback
3. Redfire05GT- "Refl. Chrome/SA", quick turn around, thanks!
4. Jewls05GT - "Anodized Red & metal flake/Redfire"
5. Hawgman - "Refl. Chrome/SA" STATUS: Delivered
6. MTAS - "Refl. Chrome/SA", Paid
7. Duckman- "Bright Red"
8. nbk13nw- "Bright Red"
9. subzero05- "Bright Red"
10. Eleanor Dreaming- "Bright Red"
11. Red Ryder - "Candy Blue"
12. Stanman - "Bright Red"
13. Sandyman
14. S197 GT- "Red", waiting a few weeks
15. flamin ponyex- PM'd, waiting for reply.
16. MilStang - maybe later?
17. scramblr - "Bright Red" car on order

Well, finally had a day that wasn't 12+ hours long at work, so I came home and put the covers on.
***WARNING PEOPLE***
I know everyone here thinks Hatchman is a "good guy" and doing everyone a favor by arranging this powder coating deal for you. But BEWARE. All is not what it seems.
When I first pulled the covers out of the box, I noticed something odd about them. They were all "shiney". Hummm.... OK, I guess I could live with that. So on with the install. Then suddenly it hit me. HEY...now I have a shiney set of cam covers under the hood and it makes everything else look like crap! Now it is all coming together. Hatchman is playing on your need to upgrade things. I mean hey, who can live with a nice looking set of cam covers crammed into that dull looking engine compartment? I certainly can't. So now I guess I just have to go spend more money on other things so they don't look so out of place. Gee....thanks
[attachmentid=34505]
[attachmentid=34504]
thanks again Hatchman. Got the covers drying from the cleaning. Will get them packed up and back out in shipping in the morning.

O.K. Hawgman, That was just wrong!!! But funny as heck!!!! 
I go to the "...everyone thinks Hatchman is a "good guy"" part and I sat straight up on my chair thinking, WHAT THE heck?!?!?!? Then I kept reading....Pretty funny!!!
Car's getting on a boat around 27 Sep...Looks like I'm getting her early, by more than a month!!!!

Now that's funny, I don't care who you are. I guess I need to buy some stock in UPR and MGW.
Glad you like them, thanks! And nice pics, that polished C&L pipe...

Hawgman, your addiction cure can not start until you get at least 8 more chromed things under that hood. MGW and other companies can get you STARTED, but it will take the desire on your part to want the cure. If you don't admit you have a problem, there is no cure. Blaming others for your addiction is the wrong approach.
You need: Brake reservoir cover, coolant recovery tank cover, windshield washer cap, shock tower covers for the bolts and nuts, oil dipstick, oil add spout cover......Get the picture?
Get started on your cure tomorrow and spend, Spend, SPend, SPEnd, SPENd, SPEND! Besides with the spending approach to a cure, you won't have any money left for gas so you can eliminate the pressure of higher gas prices. It's all logical.
Quit blaming Hatchman. :bang:

Hopefully they will be back to you today or tomorrow. I looked at the Fedex site and all it says is "at local office"

If someone can figure out how to make all the parts you mentioned show me a gain on the dyno, count me in.

Does he do anything in white?

He can do Gloss White, Off White , and Cream. It's pretty safe to assume the Gloss White would be the closest match to Performance White.
