Lupe @ River City Aircraft Engines...his user ID on this forum is overhaulengines. He does custom stuff like this and custom painted bow ties, etc. The work is very good quality. I also have a Roto-Fab CAI on the way and it has been painted silver/black to match as well. My engine bay ought to look pretty sweet after I get that on!

Love it except I would paint the ZL1 on instead of raised stickers. Maybe they are but I have a junk monitor here and it looks like stickers on the STB.

Engine cover and strut brace
I had mine painted by Lupe also and they both look excellent! I had my engine cover sanded all the the way down, and had him paint the cover CRT to match the car, and I supplied him with some chrome supercharger emblems and he put the ZL1 emblems on. The brace is painted dark carbon with CRT ends and painted bolt heads, looking fantastic!
I would recommend Lupe at River City Creations for any painting you need done! Bill |

That looks pretty good, you should change the srutt support bolts to stainless round head allen capheads. That will tie it all together because those ugly stock bolts have to go. Just take one out and take it to a bolt place that sells SS metric bolting. You will really like the way it looks. I changed mine out when I did my brace. I will post pics.

Here are some pics of mine. I even included one with the bolts changed out before I painted. I used a different bolt with a machined washer but you can see what a difference it makes by just changing them out.
