Check out this intake pipe I just got back. The guys at HIS Motorsports in Hickory, N.C. got this done for me. The process that is used, is supposed to be good up to 550 degrees. Wanted to see how it was gonna turn out first. Now I'm gonna get some other things (ex: valve cover etc...) done to match this!!

 

That's pretty cool.. Is it burnt into the aluminum?

 

pretty cool. how much did that run you?
is it the new dipping process that people are doing?

 

No, 4G63, it's a type of transfer printing. Its actually ink that is then cleared with uv protected clear coat.

 

Yes it is. They have tons of different patterns. Well, this piece was kinda done as a sample piece. I know for like valve cover it cost between 100.00-150.00 depending on if it is still factory painted or has been repainted, which causes more work, because the extra paint has to come off. Pipes will I'm sure vary depending on length.

 

That looks nice!

I've got a couple updates for the community here soon with the same process, different pattern and placement.

 

Looks good!

 

I had a mishap with some coolant in my engine and my UICP is farked. This is cool as hell. Is it only done through HIS?

 

Looks pretty cool.

 

hydro printing is cool!!!!

 

I would think there would be someone near you that does this. Just jump on the internet and look around for for companys in ur area that do hydrographics. If you can't find someone close though, I'm sure HIS would get you taken care of.

 

HIS ftw

 

That is pretty sweet

 

ill tell Kasey and ELijah to post the pics of those valve covers !! they look SICKKKKKKKK

 

that's pretty unique i dig it
