so did ya'll decide on the details of the modified cover group buy? i would like in on the group buy if it hasn't already happened. i'd be fine with the black or the blue but preferably black. and no i don't have a supercharger BUT i have decided to get one, just not right this second. don't wanna wait til i do get it in and miss out on the group buy.

You have a PM

eTiMaGo · 03-14-2009, 10:21 AM

yeah it's really weird, I don't see how the sedan would have a different location of those posts compared to the LB.. unless the supercharger unit itself is a lil different, after all look at Peter, he didn't need to file down a corner of his to get it to fit, while others did... who knows!

KCALB SIRAY · 03-14-2009, 10:29 AM

to your point filing, didn't Whooppee have to file down a corner on his?

frownonfun · 03-15-2009, 05:23 PM

can either of these logos be engraved? and if so would anyone else want either of these engravings?

LtNoogie · 03-15-2009, 06:20 PM

Whatever logo you pick, it needs to be high res. If it's a tiny logo on your screen, it can only be etched as a tiny logo or else you'll see pixelation when he blows it up.

ok... also, and this feels like a dumb question, is it gonna be white like your microimage, uh, image or will it be whatever color the source pic is?

LtNoogie · 03-15-2009, 08:53 PM

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.

frownonfun · 03-16-2009, 12:19 AM

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

LtNoogie · 03-17-2009, 09:37 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.

RagnaCaT · 03-18-2009, 12:49 AM

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....

cali yaris · 04-10-2009, 01:59 PM

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

kurokoma-kun · 04-10-2009, 02:04 PM

thanks for these covers Garm, and thanks to Noogie for the custom cut!!

what i want now is a brushed aluminum battery box

LtNoogie · 04-10-2009, 09:04 PM

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

frownonfun · 04-25-2009, 02:17 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, 02:18 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.
