If I did a fuel rail I would either powder black mine or get this one. I have enough red now, so now it is time to splash in some other stuff. Seeing as how an aftermarket fuel rail nets zero performance, I should just stay with stock. I may buy one of kidneythiefs oil caps and have it candied though.

One of these in black or polished would look good on your car.

Updated with finished photo of engine bay. I am still in awe at how Michael from SPC matched my Nisei UICP by just looking at it. Kracka can tell you it is damn near as perfect as perfect gets.

i wonder how much will cost you to powder coat the whole car. I know BMW M6 paint is powder coated that is why it is dammed expensive.
one thing you should not do is to bring your car to dealer service or else they will scrath that candy red.

A dealer won't touch my car unless there is some unexplained issue or for some reason I am lucky and they warranty the motor or tranny, in which case I wouldn't replace it with a stock one anyhow. I have a list of the items I will have replaced in the event of an engine failure or tranny failure. Expensive list but a list all the same.

I dropped my o2 elim downpipe off last night to be ceramic coated. I should have it back early next week at which time I'll post some pics.

You won't be unhappy with the end result! I will give you a tip though, make sure to dry fit all of the bolts before getting under the car. Depending how it is hung during the coating process, you may get excess in one of the holes.

next thing would be to buy the spark plug cover. i got mine for pretty cheap and it comes powdercoated from their shop..heres a pic of my engine bay:



you'll be relieved to know though, i got rid of the 2 piece red piping and went flat black on the uicp. so we dont have to be worried about looking similar when popping our hoods. but you'll see the spark plug cover..also..i had a buddy do a wire tuck on the injector wiring..75 bucks and it was well worth it..looks great
