biker2k · 01-03-2019, 07:05 AM

I have the msd in grey and black
now that I have no plenum cover or fuel rail covers, I want to dress it up a bit, I am going white and black or grey theme.....

like my roto fab dry (white and black)

I am planning to add the Katech valve covers with the coil relocation kit with the longer wires.

You can get the wires and covers in grey I think

that's exactly the look Im going for, received all the Katech parts but haven't gotten around to it yet. Did get the coolant overflow cover on. OP the Vengeance covers would look perfect on yours.

yeah but that will never happen.. they will only install them themselves

when you bought your rotofab did it come with the red overlay for the badge, that will look good on your combo..

which coolant cover is that, I like it, also river city has custom billet caps but that's 200 that I feel I could use somewhere else first

heard that! Check Katech out, they will powder coat. I believe one of the vendors here paints stuff also, Rivercity Creations. Yes it did come with the overlay, forgot all about that thanks. https://www.rivercitycreation.com/20...ories_c730.htm

I just used the oem covers.... I honestly hate the way the MSD looks exposed....
However to change it up a bit i plan on painting the coilpack covers red... and taking off the fuel rail covers..

A bit dirty in this pic, sorry

how did you get them to stay

They just do, the rubber tabs that "blend" into the coil pack covers hold them in place.

its the oem part from the convertible camaro, brace. People claim that its unnecessary on the coupes, guess they've done independent testing lol.
Regardless, I might have to loose it. Unsure if my Katech coil relocation kit will clear underneath it.

biker2k · 01-04-2019, 08:00 PM

you can't put the plenum cover back on...

and its called a strut tower brace, most say its not needed but I still wanted one...
ive had them on all my cars
