Default Spring Bling...

Did some new things to the engine compartment over the past few weeks in preparation for the summer. I repainted my calipers blue and I think they really pop now unfortunately pics were taken in garage and you can't quite see them well. Will take more outside later.
Post pics of what you have done over the winter......
Here are pics of what I did.

Nice job adding the bling. I really haven't done anything over the winter - did all mine before I put her away for the winter.

I had it powdercoated at a local alternator shop (Mr Alternator). They tore it down, powdercoated it and new bearings for 75.00.

Got the cover from RPI Designs. Not really thrilled with the fit but I would suggest the 2 piece cover. This is the one piece and I had to remove the fuel rails to install.
