Added links to Cobb's Dyno database that shows the graphs of each of my tunes and dyno runs to my post (this one: http://www.mitsustyle.com/forums/showpost.php?p=363932&postcount=129). Once the data from yesterday is uploaded, I'll swap the picture I took with the nice online graph.

Well, it looks like my powdercoating plans will have to be delayed for a week or 2. I'll be helping Kracka install his MAP FMIC this weekend. I was originally wanting to garage my car (which for me means putting it in the backyard, lol) this weekend and start ripping out the IC piping and the intake so I could set up an appointment with the local powdercoater the following Saturday. However, due to Kracka's accelerated modding plan, I'll have to put that on hold for a week or so (which is fine by me...more driving around with the fresh tune :D).

I finally decided that I'm going to do a metallic/glossy/pearlescent blue (basically, whatever color matches the car's paint more closely). I'm going to see if the guy can color match my oil cap so that everything will match pretty closely.

I went ahead and painted the red part of the engine cover a glossy black and I think the engine bay looks MUCH better that way. The blue piping will really pop now.

Since you have an `08 you should just powdercoat the valve cover and ditch that thing. Looks a lot better imo.

Cover up your battery terminal fool :P Or, its getting painted. Cool :)

IMHO leave the parts shiny, bling bling!

I don't want to mess with doing a wire tuck and getting a cover to put over the coils. I actually like the engine cover to be honest. :)

Actually, Cobb forgot to put it back on after my tune. Kracka actually painted his and mine black this past Saturday as we were both going to do that anyways. Hopefully Cobb didn't throw it away wondering what it was since it's not red anymore. I hope to make it to their 1st Thursdays of the month meet and reacquire my battery terminal cover. :)

I'm not doing either on mine. Nobody told me that was required. ;)
