Default I'm seeing RED!! (pics)

Well I ordered jacking pucks and the Abs-of-Steel Plate from Jeff at Elite Engineering during the Christmas time sale. I wanted a unique one so we got to talking about the anodized red one, and then I thought, I need to have my new Z06 rear sway bar powdercoated, why not have it all done? So I sent him my sway bar and he had all three items powdercoated. They look amazing!! Jeff offers great products and service, he's a class act . I also ordered the Window Valet from him during the GP... that thing is cool. It has so many deatures so I was playing with it all yesterday! Now time to install some stuff...

Before you guys flame me, I know it's a big waste of money to have it done, but I thought it would be neat just to have it, so anyway, here's a pic. It's almost to nice looking to put on...



Here's a close up, the machining on this is



Here's the pucks. I don't want to use these either but I will...



and here's the sway bar:



As I said before, Jeff was great to deal with and I'd recommend him to anyone! Thanks!

I'm starting not to like you Rob (jealous) There's nothing else anyone else should flame you for. That's all truly unique and tasteful!

That's gonna look awesome! Will you please take some pix when it's on the lift and everything is on there? ( I know you would've already). It all looks clean ... gonna set your car's color off.

You just got me thinking about putting in a clear, acrylic floor. Talk about making my wheels turn! Thanks for sharing bro.

Dave Q.

Hey Rob,

I'm glad everything was received without any problems. I was so worried about the power coating getting scratched during shipping.

I look forward to see pictures after the install.

Thanks again,

Jeff

Nice job. Post some picks with the back bone and sway bar installed. That should look great.
