***PICS*** Polished Manifold/VALVE/Stillen FSTB and White 97SE ***PICS***

Finally got off my lazy bum and got some pictures scanned in and up for you people...

Everything got polished for 350, email me if you have any interest in getting this done on your car I can give you the guys name and address to ship your stuff to and have it done.

Installation of everything was done by me and took 35 to take off manifold and about 45 to put it back on, valve and FSTB are simple.

Engine looked real good at the show Jason. It was good to see you there and the mods you had done to the car. I just wish one of us would have won something.

kenny - steal my some HIDs!!! haha.. and we would have owned a 4 door category.. oh well.. you win some you lose some.. your car looked amazing, thanks for the help with all the engine polishing..

stynki- yeah i am trying to get some diamond cut clears for my car and then i will give my friend my clears.. they look better on a white car than the diamond cuts.. i did his tails for him at least..

i had to have parts shipped to me to have no down time and i couldnt get a throttle body.. so it stays unpolished for now..

thanks for the compliments.. im gonna get an upclose of the FSTB for people..

I like all 3 pics.
I can see you are as lazy and me and just painted over your whole valve cover and opposed to covering the letters with tape. I need to get my headers and valve cover polished soon...but there's so much more I could do with the money. Now all you need is a loom and you're bay will be SET!

wire loom = RICE

not too many mods you can do for 300.. maybe one or two.. and i purposely didnt tape over the letters.. i like it as a solid red..

If you think that a loom is rice, what is polishing a valve cover?

plastic wire loom is very cheasy and cheap looking.. polishing engine pieces costs a lot of money and looks very clean.. you are kidding right?? you like wire loom more than polished metal?

Just because it costs a lot of money doesn't mean its not rice. Body kits cost a lot of money and lots of people consider them rice. You can get a silicone loom if you don't like the plastic ones, but either looks clean. I don't like the wire loom more than polished metal, but I think they go very well together.
