Amazing what a can of paint can do....

[NjsGT]

So I decided to try to tie some color under the hood together and this is what I came up with.... color matching the strut tower brace to the blower/piping...

finished strut brace

It was black before....

And heres it all back together...

With the IC....

The valve covers are next but I plan on doing that once the new shortblock goes in late fall/early winter... Since the stock motor is comin out
Whatcha think fella's?

you need to get the polished frpp 62mm t/b it'll purty up that engine bay nicely. plus ford blue and chrome look awesome together. painted manifold would look nice to or a plenum cover that matches

Great finally lol It was the o2 censors surprisingly. Loaded up a tune that didn't use the o2 censors and it runs like stock now And still put down 450 to the wheels on 11* of timing and a maxed out pump lol

What kind of paint did you use bro?

i'm still on the fence with the frpp manifold, i'll wait a few months to see what comes up with them.

on a side note i do have a c$l manifold i'll sell you it's basically brand new has like 100 miles on it, and it would be very easy to paint to match you're car.

seeing you do this makes me want to get off my ass and do it to mine, i'd do a blue/silver combination, can't wait to see what it looks like when finished.

also out of curiosity what type of paint are you using, i know it needs to be some sort of hi temp stuff.
