Nice job!

One tip! Remove that open air filter. Now you will get to much hot air in your filter.

stani1029, you are supossed to wait 24hrs for the paint to harden

i will be getting a cold air feed i think been meaning to get one since i brought the filter.

Aha ok!

Cold air is good More horsepower etc. etc.

come one man im dissapointed with your lack of mods!

get a home made cold air feed sorted, in yellow colour coding. get some yellow plastic surround around your cables and stuff will look good.

nice job with the rocket cover though

very nice, what type of paint did you use? is it heatproof?

 

[D4R73N]

I should hope so. lol

 

[Fordy]

just paint the heat shield with high temp silver paint cause a yellow heat shield would be a bit ott

no its normal paint, the rocker cover doesnt get that hot like your heat shield or brakes etc.

fordy, yes your right it would look ott, i think i will do it silver.

IT would surly get hot enough to take paint off, no?

What made you choose yellow though? just a question.

Nope. Standard paints are fine

well my strut brace was yellow, so i thought it would look good with a yellow rocker cover its a right pain to do tho, time consuming and you have to be paitent i also picked yellow because it is diffrent and its stands out.

How about doing the manifold heat shield too
