Hoojammyflip Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 With the 4th gens having a black plastic inlet manifold, mostly hidden by the engine cover, has anyone bothered painting it? Since I broke my engine and now have it rebuilt with an STi8 short engine I quite fancy doing mine to have it showing through a hint of STi style wrinkle red through the gaps and louvres... http://i47.tinypic.com/95pxs7.jpg Anyone done it? I know it's a lot of work to get a small bit of detail but I think it would set off the engine bay really nicely. Any hints, tips or possible pitfalls etc? Cheers guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 IMO way more trouble then what's it's worth. Is this a show car, may be you could put some yellow and blue vacuum hoses on it too. Sorry, it's just a car, worry about things that make it perform better. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it. Engine Build - Click Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
