stock shields are great for sure.

I sincerely hope that coating holds up tho.  Needs to be good for 1400 or so.

But if it doesn't you can sand blast it off again and then hit it with VHT in silver, black or clear.

Yeah I hope it holds too, pretty sure it will! if I recall correctly it is able to hold up to 2000 degrees. If I get that hot I'm pretty sure the last  thing I'm going to be worry about is my heat shields :P

This is officially my favorite part that I have gotten powder coated!!





Also, here is the driver's side motor mount looking real sexy! :P



You will notice around the "ECI Multi" lettering there is some black dots. It's from a not so perfect piece of material starting point, but damn does it look much better! :)

I cannot wait till I get this engine bay cleaned up and see what everything looks like underneath there! :) There is still a few more parts to get powder coated, but am getting more and more stoked to get this all done! :)

O.M.G. That IM looks amazing. I like the colour-scheme a lot. Looking good Mike!

The valve cover is yet to come. I got it done last year but it's a little different red. And is no where near the quality Sheela does!

So here's a couple more pieces to add to my bling collection!

UICP all nicely coated! :)



Also have a nice Spark plug cover now! :)


The more pieces I get done, sent back to me and have pictures of the more I can't wait to get this sexy engine bay back together!!

I'm not going to want to drive this beast once I get it all back together! I'll be washing under the hood as much as I wash it and the rims(every 2nd day if not daily)

One more part of the transformation pretty much completed! One bad ass looking throttle body! :)

Before paint, all ready for primer!



After! :D
