Have it all body coloured and clear coated rather than powdercoated,That would look the nuts...

 

[plumcrazy]

was thinking body color with powder or darker...

How about black? Would make for a great contrast to the silver bodywork and would look real sinister.

Im searching for a pic. Another guy on here that just recently sold his silver GTS powdercoated his valve covers a dark graphite grey color. Looked really sharp. Somewhat matches the darker grey in the sneaky pete logo on the front.

What air cleaner are you using with your SC?

Its a DLM, right?

Plum, your engine color looks great. If the parts are clean, polish the letters and Viper and your done.

Sometimes we can't see the trees for the forest. The reasons why no other color pops up in your head is that Viper red is perfect.

That's easy! Silver car needs Storm Grey Wrinkle with silver cowl piece:

Note the PCM cover. Color above is a bit off. Here is a better representation of the color:

The dark grey will really make all that polish work pop.

That is the one I was looking for.

Blue like the AN fittings would look hot with your silver car.

Hey Plum.

Perfect color for your setup

White Valve Covers
Yellow Intake That would make it look like Deviled Eggs

Couldn't pass that one up

[plumcrazy]

If its the metal mesh one its the same one that i have. I was just checking to see if any anyone was using something new.

Thanks

i actually have the engine builder working on finding me a replacement one. i'll keep you posted on it for sure then.

Phil, I am surprised you are even asking this question. Plum Crazy Purple would look very hot on a silver car. Or you could see if you could get the paint code for the new Viper Violet.

 

[plumcrazy]

you know me well Aaron. was actually thinking of it but it might even be too much for ME..lol

Plum,

Send your parts to me. I can have it ceramic coated which will have a chrome like finish. It would look real cool on your car with that DLM set up. Take a look at my lambo headers I just did in the snake pit grill.

i saw them and thats what got me thinking actually.

you have a PM
