Lol should have seen that coming. How do you embed from photobucket again?

Click to expand...

hover over the image you uploaded in photo bucket, and click on the "direct link" - it will then say "copied"

Come back here to S197, paste the url that's copied (hit ctrl+v).

Then add image tags around it

Here's a few.

Hummmmm Might have to call BMR soon and add that to the list

Any discount if you ship me a raw one? (don't need the red or hammertone on it) haha

Looks awesome, nice touch on the intake.

Finally got all the painting done on the intake cover!!!! Hopefully I'll have time to install it this weekend!

Well done sir!

Wow that looks clean as hell.

Thanks guys!

Its amazing what you can do with spray paint and tape from Home Depot when you prep everything properly!

that looks great

cant wait to see it all installed!

Yeah - I have some family parties today, but I'm hoping I can swap it out tomorrow!

are you going to leave the valve covers red?

Wow!! looks very nice!! did you use the truck bed liner paint on the intake cover?

Damn that looks good. It should look incredible all put together. Nice and clean and subtle.

Finished product!




I'm going to swap over to the C&L that's drilled for the N2O (and painted to match) & the GT500 TB once I save up a little for the rest of the parts and to get it all re-tuned.

Looks great man! You did an awesome job on the intake manifold cover. I know that took a lot of time to tape off all the lines and letters. Props to you!

BTW, what all did you do for the mini wire tuck?
