Default I got bored...

The car is in the garage for the winter and I have some free time on my hands... this is what came out of it. Thoughts?








Here's a picture of the car itself so you guys have an idea




I did all that plus a new exhaust, HID fogs, and a bunch of other stuff. The car will be run without the fuel rail covers but like I said, I have time so I decided if I got bored with the coil-pack look, I could go back to the OEM fuel rail covers and the letters will already be painted. Better to stay busy and stay out of trouble.

pics of the parts installed?

Looks good!

Personally, I would have just painted the entirety of the fuel rail covers and used white on the lettering for contrast, if only because the black plastic doesn't match the quality of the car IMHO. But you did great work nonetheless.

Thanks for the compliments guys. Certainly appreciated. I will post pictures of the parts installed as soon as I finish painting the coil pack mounting brackets and bolts.

As to the fuel rail covers Random, I am going to buy a set of painted ones from Gene at GM parts house because those coil packs and lettering on the fuel rail covers were done by hand by me with a brush. Those fuel rail covers would take forever to paint by brush and would not be smooth. Haha.
