dont waste your time with silly airbrushing of plenum covers and other nonsense, just do this:


WAIT! i DID see those on sale down as the local Discount Auto Parts for like $99/99, right?!

lol JK, i have a $19K wedding that im still saving up to pay off and then i gotta knock out a $6K credit card and THENill get some boost!

I WAS thinking about doing the white on the radiator and intake covers and running my stripes over both of them....it will match my car and have a nice clean look...........

Just remeber, at times Less is More..............Strut Tower Brace makes the inside look better IMO. Painted Cam Covers, and some SS Hose Lines, if you can't get teh billet stuff right away paint the strut pins, black or whatever color you desire, cheaper than 100 beans for now.

Good Luck

On another note Burnsy that is the Nicest Damn Saleen Install I have seen to date. Very Very Well done!! You may have just steered me from my Paxton Polished Purchase.........Thanks

Eventually I was thinking of getting the radiator cover and extensions to match the paint. They also have the strut tower covers and fuse box cover. IF I stay NA, I may get the plenum cover and fuel rail cover.

If you are hell bent on cover and extensions, then get them unique for your car IMO. As someone else said, what stands out at the shows is not so much what parts you have, but how they are dressed...

You can click the link in my sig to see my cover and extensions...[8D]

That's kinda what I meant! With all those colors in there, heck, it looks like a Christmas tree! Purple, red, blue, silver... hey just add some green and you're good to go!

+1 on the radiator extesion covers, I have them installed on my car. And a set of these, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Musta...spagenameZWDVWI purchased these from this seller for less than $50, his price seems to have gone up.
