latest mod under the hood

[bigfish]

Hello all,

It's been a while since my last post and I thought I would share my latest mod under the hood. I have pretty much done as much as I'm willing to do on the performance end of the spectrum, so I thought it was time to work on the aesthetic end...

I recently needed to replace my valve cover gaskets on both sides. So while the valve covers were off the guys at Valley Moterwerks (Walter, Alex and Nick) in Rancho Cordova, CA. bead-blasted, primed and painted them, we went with a flat red. I think we ended up with three coats of primer and three coats of paint.

Once we got the valve covers back on, I took the valve cover plastic trim pieces, the supercharger stabilization rod and plastic engine cover to the guys at Specialty Car Craft (Andy and Larry) in Los Angeles, CA. They cleaned, stripped, tapped and prepped the plastic pieces. Then they did an amazing job matching the color of the valve covers.

I then took the painted trim pieces back to Valley Motorwerks and they put everything back on the motor. I'm very happy with the finished product, the engine really pops now when you open the hood and the red really compliments other items on my X...

I'm very picky about who I trust with my cars and I can tell you both groups did an amazing job helping to complete this project. If your in CA and need any work done to your vehicle, I highly recommend both of these shops.

Their attention to detail is amazing. No mater how big or small the job they both get things done on time, on budget and the quality of the work is superlative. Thanks guys.
