Engine cover for S/C engine - Page 5 - Toyota Yaris Forums

The image will be whitish because it's the bare aluminum after the colored anodized layer has been removed. If you want the image to be a different color, you'll have to find an artist or graphics shop. They need to remember to use paint that can stand the high temps right over the engine.

that's what i thought but just wanted to be sure

LtNoogie · 03-17-2009, 08:37 PM

Wow, you do have short studs on the valve cover. I can barely see the threads. Ok, I'll have the center section cut higher. Thanks.

Sorry to bud in but Just by the look of it comparing to LtNoogie' s is cut in deeper than yours camell you can see it at the bend....

hmmm almost forgot to post my peetcher.

I was gonna paint it with that "hammered" texture stuff in cooper color, but now that I see the beauty of the brushed aluminum I don't know if I will.

The crazy lookin wing nuts were originally for a hot rod air cleaner

^ omg, that is really nicely done, every detail.

kurokoma-kun · 04-10-2009, 01:04 PM

KK, that is just evil looking. Are you running those Ben Hur spiked chariot hubcaps on your wheels too?

frownonfun · 04-25-2009, 01:17 PM

got my cover yesterday. ended up not going with the blitz S/C but it still looks good. guess i'll figure out exactly what engine cover i wanna sport when i get the PE S/C on. may just buy another uncut cover from micro image. i do love the engraving though.

LtNoogie · 04-25-2009, 01:18 PM

It is one of a kind. If you switch to another one, I'm sure a Blitz'd owner will buy it from you. I too love the texture of the aluminum after the laser etching.

frownonfun · 04-25-2009, 01:22 PM

yeah we'll see though. thanks for the cover.

LtNoogie · 05-04-2009, 08:41 PM

Mike, that's a nice finishing touch to your engine compartment.

It was a great eight year run, but it was time to focus on other things. I'm still selling parts on eBay under micro*image seller ID and customers can still make requests for anything specific.
