id love to try them on.. but they are 5x100 the offsets would require big spacers also 18.8.5 +30 front and 18x9.5 +25 rear

 

Looking good. Did you ever get the pics from the guy that took some when me, you and Clay got together? Clay and I lost his email.

ahh man nah i had it in my wallet for the longest time and i think it feel out when i went to the bar placed it in my pocket and then lost it :( everytime i tried to remind myself to email him i forgot by the time i got home.

 

What's the size on your intercooler?

its 29x11x3 bought it off ebay as a kit with piping from cx racing, then went to home depot and found these two L brackets and made them work, fits like a glove

Haha thanks Justin. Yea they do look nice. But they don't provide the best visabity lol. And the carbon fiber templates have started to fade from to much sun exposure. I'll eventually make something out of aluminum. But for the most part they do provide a unique look.

so i finally got around to painting my valve cover. and while i was in there i went and replaced my valve cover gasket and cam plug. one of the 2 was leaking so i replaced both.

 

i couldnt figure out what color to paint the VC. but i came to a color and it was black, VHT wrinkle black. with a sparkle finish. came pretty nice. of course looks alot better in person.

 

so heres the before

and then after hitting it with a heat gun for about 15mins i sprayed 3 coats of clear using the heat gun between coats. and let it dry for 24hours

 

the final result (tried to capture it the best i can with the camera)
