I did my first set in the factory Millennium Yellow, and had the last set (Thanks ALOT to Nouman ) flamed by Chevy Chad, from this forum (and LS1Tech).

He did a GREAT job, and was VERY reasonable. The kicker is that he was a pleasure to deal with. Now I just have to get off my lazy butt and buy a new radiator support for him to match the frc's.

Good Luck!
