Intake caps were just some brass crush washers. You can find them at most hardware stores.

Yea, the sequential system has been a bitch to me. I was close to ditching it many times. But once I have gotten it working properly finally, it was definetly worth it.

I prefer my rims to have the shiny aluminium look but this pait tone has really catched my eye. It look very good especialy in the enging compartment.

Curious too on how it will stay in time.

Matching couplers would help out alot I swapped my blue ones for hosetechniques black ones makes a nice difference.

Did you spray a clearcoat on them?

Since its been a couple of months, i wonder how the paint held up if you didnt CC the wheels.

I may pick up a couple of those bottles at home depot in a week, but im going with black black.
