Default Custom painted engine covers??

Hi Folks
169 miles on the LMB coupe and waiting for the rain to stop here in central Ma.
I was wondering if anybody remembers a posting back in Dec. 05 offering custom flames on fuel rail covers etc. I cannot seem to search correctly for the address or the posting.
Did anyone buy them and did they hold up under engine heat?
I thought the pictures were good and wanted to show them to a fellow owner. Thanks and Safe Driving

This may be the thread you are looking for:

Flame Fuel Rail Covers

Forum vendor "AutoBuffs" does custom engine painting. You can find them in the "Under the Hood" section of the vendor ads on the left side of the forum pages.

I've had no problems at all with the paint job. I would revommend a coat of rejex or something of the sort to help keep them clean.
