I think I'm going to do that, too. I've been talking with Mike @ Milzy and I'm going to get the 65mm TB and the ported UIM & LIMs probably in the spring (so might as well dress 'em up, too). Nice thing is he's only about a half hour drive from my house since I'm seriously considering doing the "race block" from them and beefing up the trans and doing their turbo.

That painted engine cover pictured here looks BA. I still don't know if I want to paint my 5.3L cover. For now, I just repainted the lettering since it was wearing off.

Yeah I have a ton of ideas for my car in general. Most of it will likely have to wait till I have it paid off late next year though before I can really start pumping money into it (and the Camaro). Although if the Army sends me to reclass for 3 months I may be able to pay it off early. We'll have to see though.

Haha yeah I meant that as in the cover pic you posted here in this thread. For mine, I've actually thought about just black, or a combo of black and red, black and white, or black and silver (like the two-tone in the pic you posted), but I don't know if I really want to paint it.

well im still waiting for my overlays to get here
heres a little update
a shorter oil filler tube i had never seen one this small lol it was on a "silhouette" van haha. i think it looks a little better and sits more "flush" with the engine cover

Resuming project!
well i bought all my paint today and hope to finish by the end of the day haha
i will be using a regular fat black but it will hold up just as well and turn glossy with the clear
my reflective red overlays came in the mail yesterday and they look awesome!
