wow! thanks so much luvmyc5

i think i like the red w/machined letters.

its going to be so much cleaner under the hood now plus i wont have any more spark plug wire issues. the return lines also have been moved from the bottom of the rails to the top 45* angle on the manifold side of the rail.

i felt that something was missing to ever since the plastic corvette covers were deleted, this will give it so idenity

Why not hot pink

I'd say red on your car, but like the flat black.

Years ago I actually had a 78 Camaro that the previous owner powder coated everything under the hood pink! It took me forever to get it all sandblated off and redone.

Red & machined Nick lookin' good!
