Well I was talking to Baker the other day and he said it really wasn't bad. I would definitely like to paint the valve covers at some point. I plan on going with a blue and white theme for my car so they will probably be blue. I really like how ABQ's came out.
Anyways, so that intake cover. I can't seem to find any. The only ones seem to be made by Midwest, and with it being out of business and all, I doubt I will be getting one from them any time soon. If anyone knows where to get something like the one Midwest sold, don't hesitate to post.

Yeah the hardest part of the whole thing is getting the covers off. You need a deep socket to get them off, 8mm maybe i don't really remember. A little persistence and your done in a couple hours.

If he's already sold it... watch ebay, you never know...
yeah a lot of stuff is in the way, but it can't be as bad as the valve covers on my dakota. 10 bolts per valve cover, partially concealed under the cab of the truck, not to mention worming around the brake booster sticking out from the firewall... oh and the replacement gasket leaked all the way to the MOPARS in Branson show in 2009. good times.

Very unique and I like it, almost looks like the burnt orange Nissan offers for the 350z and some other cars they make!
