That looks looks awesome, like it came from the factory like that!!! Nice paint job.

But I look at that big top of the intake and I think you need to add something there. Chevy bow tie, knights crest, words "Monte Carlo", something that just adds a touch of character to it. Just my thoughts.

I'm sure you are anxious to have this beast assembled and the new tune in it.

I was going to go red but decided against it for some reason. I am making a coil cover that will be matched to the color of the car for some color. I think it will look good.

I might have a couple possible opportunities to make some. We will see I am pretty confident I could replicate this pretty quickly.

Thanks Jason. I didn't think it would come out near as well as it did. I managed to come very close to the factory texture even. I kinda surprised myself with it.

We will see once it's put together if it needs something on there... If so I might do a sheet of red kevlar carbon fiber.

Yeah I can't wait. Should have my tune on Wednesday so I am hoping to have this ready to turn over by next weekend.
