Get them to me ASAP...just ordered the Stingray with plain red background, I hope the red matches Torch Read. Can you post photo of the PLAIN RED background with Stingray?

Patiently waiting in Virginia....

They will ship in 7-12 business days per the page - as soon as they are ready

I do not have any other photos of the plain red, but will see if they can supply one. It won't be an exact match to Torch Red but I imagine it would be hard to tell the difference. I'll see what I can find out.

You're right. They sent a pic showing where it goes but didn't know what to name it so someone there mistakenly called it a power steering cap. Here is the image showing where it goes:

Close enough, good enough. Really looking forward to putting the finishing touches of the engine bay together. Excited and will be checking the mail or waiting for the brown truck. Thanks

Sounds great. I'm still working on trying to find more details for you, though.

Regarding your engine bay, and possibly exterior and interior, there are a ton of products I haven't added yet that I'm still working on so please let me know what you need or want so I can prioritize and get what you need for you. I'm happy to do it.

Here is what I have done so far...you can see why I want the caps with the background of red. Let me know other products that you might have, trying to stay away from chrome, brushed SS or brightness.

That looks very nice. Sporty. I like it.

The caps you ordered are polished, did you want me to see about getting them done in brushed so they are not as shiny? Or maybe even powdercoated in black (there would probably be an extra cost but it may be possible)?

Are you interested in any underhood lighting via red LED?

Something like this, but we can also do the fenders with LED lighting:



You can ignore the stainless - the lighting is what I'm curious about and whether it would work with your theme or not.

So it turns out I made an error - they are not stainless, they are plastic (and chromed) and thus can not be done in powdercoat. I'm so very sorry about that!

You bet. I also have them waiting for yours to be complete so I can show you a photo of what they'll look like. You know, so you have something to look at while waiting. Hope to see it soon but don't know exactly how long it will take. Stay tuned!
