just wrapped in eletrical tape? Dang, talk about mods on the cheap!!

And it looks good!!!!

I'm SERIOUSLY tempted to do the intake black. SOOO HAWT

 

[Protege03ak46]

Thanks

came out flat. just what i wanted. lol.

and yes it was soooo cheeeeeeeaaaaaap.
i only use a roll for the whole job.

 

[mx-p5]

flat is exactly what i want

I couldn't say no to a $60 Injen, chrome or not. lol

But, I likes it flat black

 

[Protege03ak46]

ya. i here ya. i traded my stock intake for it plus 50 so i made out pretty good.
you still own the protege? a thought you were getting an msp

 

[justanothermp5]

dam i have to agree, that orange actually looks good
so does the intake....i know what im doing when i get home lol

 

[Protege03ak46]

lol. Orange and black is MY FAVORITE color combo, by far

 

[mx-p5]

paint the rims orange? lol

If not rims, do the rims black and calipers orange

 

[Protege03ak46]

well i would do that, but i have front disc, rear drum

 

[justanothermp5]

yea orange calipers would be sexy, so would black rims
so go ahead and get started and post pics when done, kthnx

 

[Protege03ak46]

haha. i wish i could. do they make orange caliper paint????

 

[mx-p5]

i dunno about caliper paint, but, i know iLisa (that's her username) paints her calipers orange with a crayola paint, just has to do it each spring

 

[justanothermp5]

u can use high heat paint
i used the paint that i used to paint my bumper and my hood, just took it and dapped it on there with a little piece of sponge, still looks good
and im pretty sure duplicolor makes orange engine paint

Before I read this post, I was thinking about doing the orange caliper paint, just need to find the time to do it.

And the orange tape looks good. I'm thinking about painting my strut bar a burnt orange color, as well as some interior pieces.

Damn that electrical tape cheap mod does look ******* sick. We have all sorts of colors of e-tape at work. Time to five finger discount those and begin the wrapping methinks.

Rear drums FTL!
