LOL

I've never been crazy about the black widow krinkle engine finish even thought I appreciate their rarity and hi HP. Looks like it would be a pain in the butt to clean.

[LGAFF]

Not doing krinkle, satin black

I can see the new pictures but I cannot see the 'LOTUS' in them

[LGAFF]

Thats odd Jeff, I am getting PMs on how clear it is and how good it looks, eyes ok?

Eyes are fine.. Dunno man

In my opinion if you really want it to look spectacular in black, look great forever! Go with gloss black powder coat. I don't know if you've ever seen Bob Halls 415 but he had the plenum,valve covers throttle body air horn ect all done in gloss black. Man did it look super sharp. I took some picture s and video of it 3 years ago at Coreys. Jerry of Jerrys gaskets and Glenn can back me up on that. I'll send you the pictures and video tommorrow so you can take a look at them.

Can't figure out if your serious or just messin with us... :dontknow:

Cus I don't see the 'Lotus' at all in your second set of pics either. I only see it in the first close up pic.

[LGAFF]

Yes, VHT 2000 degree primer/VHT 900 Degree Caliper/ black satin paint.......I was not sure if Satin was the color I wanted.....a flatter black might look better.


To Paint the letters I found that using a small micro screw driver works great, dip it in paint and then glently drop it in the letter and the paint will actually fill in the letters on its own.

The Ghost Lotus is a VHT Graphite and it really pops in the 2nd photos, not sure why some cannot see it.

I hear Viagra overuse can cause this kind of vision issues.

[secondchance]

I can't see either...

I can't see it either, It must be one of thoes trick e mails where you close one eye,turn your head sideways & then you can see it

there is glare in the photos in your 2nd post with pictures.. I do see it in the first post though.

Anyone notice anything different on this plenum?

[Toyvet1]

No MAP sensor mounting bosses, the detail you will go to save weight.,,,,,,and no Lotus shadowing..

[jrd1990zr1]

I guess I have been using too much viagara. I don't see it in the second set of photos. Or may be it is the monitor resolution.

Regardless, if you like it that is all that counts!
