Sharp and clean looking, wish I had the savy to pull the valve covers cause they look awsome painted.

Looks amazing, I love it.

Are the valve covers teflon coated, even on the outside? I am debating paint/powder/teflon and would love some opinions...

Let me know, I bought an extra set to coat/paint and when I get done, you can buy my originals and do the same. That way you have all the time in the world to do the prep and paint, then just swap. Mine just started developing a small valve cover leak, so I need to pull them anyway....

Re: Before and after... (engine mods)

Looks really good to me. I have thought about buying the ceramic rotor paint in red to do mine. Should look good and be pretty durable. Are you guys putting oil catch cans on N/A XFs? If so, where are they hooked up, on the valve cover vents? Mine only has about 9,800 miles on it and had the TB off, looks very clean.
