It looks great! Nice job in keeping it that way.

BTW, outside the engine bay I see you are missing the wiper arm nut caps. I've bought these and found them to fit very secure.

I've heard that the wiper arm caps for the VW fit more snug than those supplied by M-B.

So I want to know if the SRT-6 lettering on the engine is painted or a decal/emblem applied. I have always liked the look of the SRT-6 engine lettering in the same color scheme as the original badging..

Now that is what I call a "fully detailed" engine bay!!
I don't even want to know the effort required to achieve this result! But I admire & respect your effort to achieve this result!!

Thanks dededwards0323.........everything is hand polished. Manifolds, valve covers, supercharger, alternator, oil pan (both pieces), intake tubes, oil catch can, and anything else aluminum I could take off. I had the engine out for the swap and polished everything I thought would look and good and have a clean impact.

I'd like to do this to my intake cover. Did you paint it yourself or did you have it done? Any tips appreciated.

Painted the center part with sapphire silver/blue my cars the rest with dupli-color engine paint de -1650 cast coat aluminum and high closs clear coat over that . I found a molotow chrome pump marker with 4 mm tip from amazon to cover the front emblem and a Crossfire domed sticker from BestStickers.net - We make the Best Stickers ever! glued on a vinyl chrome strip edging around the center middle part . Take your time and use your imagination for what works best for You!

sed a permanant sharpie black marker for the Crossfire letters

Really a nice looking airbox for your Crossfire. Which size chrome marker did you use? Letting us know about these was great!

lotsofspareparts that looks great! It's the look of massive engine power packed into a small space. I wish I had that in one of my Crossfire engine bays.

The M113 fits like a glove, and the install is much easier than many let on.

Thanks, Jared
