Due to an unfortunate accident with some cleaning solvent my coil covers are ruined, but I'm being reimbersed and am going to do something a little different with the new ones. I found a few options from members on here. So here are the few that I like.......



Hissman's look sick but his method seems like it would be a pain in the ass.....

I really like the scheme AirForce Hemi did also.....

Godstang has kind of the same thing going on but he polished the fins also, just imagine these but with black paint instead of blue.....

I say bling it...but all i do are car shows ;)

I guess it depends and is up to you...if you got some other blingy stuff and it will match up well, then polish...if you dont...then go straight black

Polished fins! Give it a little polished look with a little contrast! Match the silver valve covers.

I think I'm leaning towards the second ones, I don't do much of the "bling" thing. I think those will look best with the way my engine currently looks.

I vote for #2, much cleaner and matches well with current look. You can always polish the fins later yourself with a couple stages of sand paper and clear.
