I did my manifold painting on my own and I think it came out pretty good. I was just sure to spend the right amount of time cleaning and taping all the pieces before I began. All in all I have less than 30 dollars in my manifold painting. You can check out my build thread if you weren't able to see the pictures I posted in the lounge a while back

They don't have every color but they have increased the selection lately. There definitely isn't anything metallic though

Are you thinking about staying with the engine cover or actually showing the manifold? I wasn't to big of a fan of the engine cover look so I don't run with it. Plus driving around without it makes the car a little cooler from what I have seen on the DIC

Keeping it.. I've put too much work into it and actually like the looks of it.. I mean dont get me wrong a well painted IM and plenum looks sharp.. but not for me.. makes the engine look skinny and I dont like that..

We'll all I can say is to search around for style and paint combo.. and then go for it.. its not hard.. painting only gets easier with practice...

I was gonna get blue calipers, and last minute decided on red. Blue is for sure more unique and it looks great with SIM!

I went to go install my apex race scoop today since I was off work, went to go jack up the car and realized that because I lowered it a few months back, the jack no long fits

I was all ready to finally get the scoop installed too

now it's time for a new jack
