Just positive feedback from talking to people. I couldn't find anyone saying their coating didn't live up to expectations and they weren't really any more expensive. They did take a while to turn them around so plan ahead if you go with them. I did paint over the white with a VHT grey to tone them down a bit on appearance.

I'll post some temperature results when I fire it up and break in the cam.

Looking very good. I am sure you are anxious to drive it again. The power is going to get and keep your attention.
