Default Painted My Engine Cover on the 6...

Decided it was time to get rid of that hideous color the previous owner did to it and give it a nice fresh look. Went with something simple, but turned out great. Let me know what u think.

Before:



After:

You continue to impress me with the cleanliness of your mods... very tasteful and looks fantastic.

I've seen another member utilize the upper portion of the factory airboxes and trim them to fit snugly between the surge tanks and the NW intakes... After you're done trimming, they look like a lop-sided triangle but they really complete the look and fill in the void.

While we're spending your money , you could also take off the surge tanks/manis and paint them Aero Blue, then sand the tops of the SRT-6 letters down to allow the raw metal to be exposed. This would make the letters pop. Then, clear-coat the surge tanks and reinstall. OR, paint them silver to match the trim, and paint the upper tops of the letters Aero Blue.

Winning, on either count.

Fubu, I have no idea what CN stands for, but def not a sports team of any kind lol.

Thanks guys for the kind words. The color in the first pic doesnt do it any justice. It was so hideous it looked like someone threw up the Aero Blue color. Maybe it was a rattle can job, no idea. I wanted to do the top part black with the aero blue, but my painter was having a hard time with it

For $30 it came out really well.

JHM, those are some good ideas. I'll have to keep them in mind.

Andrew, how much for the sticker? Let me know.

Thanks.
