PJB Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 You should go over the raised lettering with a red paint marker now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 i thought you meant you polished for performance, like the ports anwyay, about the lettering, my friends 1992 beretta, 3.1 3-speed, he did it. looks good: its hard to see cuz of camera angle and light, cuz i really was trying to get his intake, but there ya go. i personally liek the 3.4's fuel rail cover that says "Twin Dual Cam V6" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomeoZ34 Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 Aaron, you should polish your plenum and valve covers while your motor is out, thats what I did, just took my time, wasn't a bitch if you draw it out. It looks fuckin awesome too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted August 26, 2003 Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 that intake is the most fuked up thing ever. hes gay. he said im gonna buy this intake cuz it looks like it will fit my car. i said no and your gay and stupid. well he got it, it is off an early 1990s CRX SI. IT FIT PERFECT. bent right around the radiator, and then dipped down into the air dam. it helped a lot, looks real cool too. i was so pissed. its like, wtf? an aluminum Mandrel bent CAI, powdercoated silver, for 150$ and it fit perfect :x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPdriver1986 Posted August 26, 2003 Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 Would it be alright to over the black area (3.1 Multi Port FI) with a black permanent marker to make it look nicer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted August 26, 2003 Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 sure, but 1 it wont match cuz it shines and actually will look like a dark purple on metal cuz that is how sharpies are and 2 it wont last cuz of the heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPdriver1986 Posted August 26, 2003 Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 Whats better to use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 get a small engine enamel spray can from NAPA(3$) in the color you want(semigloss ford black probly), and then sand it, tape it, and paint it. it will look good and will never come off.

89oldscutlass Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 Hey looks like you worked your but off to get that intake to shine like that. I like it,looks good. What about painting it red where it was black and leaving the 3.1 looking polished? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
