I had my best friend paint my Strut Bar, Fuse Cover and Air Cleaner Cover. First is before just with the Supercharger Cover done. Second was all of them done.

I want to eventually paint my strut bar. Did you follow any special procedure to remove and re-install yours?

Nice.

Feakin sweet Dave.

I'd like to do something along those lines too. I assume that's not from a rattle can.

Just unbolted it in the garage. The car is on a lift so it was not driven or moved. 6 bolts 3 per side.

No rattle can, my best friend owns a body shop and they prepped and painted them then heat baked them. The paint is PPG and the IOM is a perfect match.

The supercharger cover was painted almost a year ago and the car has just over 3000 miles with two track days. No paint burn or peeling.

Are there bolts available that are nicer looking than the stock ones?
