Looks really good!!
Did you do the paint on the engine cover yourself? Cause that looks real good too. If so What did you use? What was your technique??

Yes i did that my self. I used some of the high temp paint that you can get at any auto parts store.
i first sanded the entire cover because i had painted it before and waqs starting to come off.
I then cleaned the cover of all the old paint dust and every thing.
Then used an adhesion (SP) promoter on the whole cover
Sparyed 3 coats on the cover about 15 mins apart
then i let it dry for a week and then i taped off around the ribs of the cover and used some "Por 15" paint and a foam brush and went over the ribs and "V6" "3800 series ll" then after letting that dry for a day i went over it all with two clear coats of spray paint.

i had an Ebay intake before and i just used the pipe from that.
Thanks for all the compliments
Right know i am painting the outside of it with a high temp flat black spray paint with ceramic in it. So the inside of the box will be like a mirror finish and then i am going to be putting some leds shinning on it to light it up.

Hi `Luke,
Thanks for taking the time to post how you painted your
engine cover. I hope that the other member's do the same.
A special panel of the MCF has met to check out your work.
They looked close at everything.
[:-] Check it Out [:-]
After a long/intense inspection, they concurred on the highest grade, and they give you a big A + 
WoW Luke, thanks for `Sharing,
Space, & the Bums : )
