My custom made intake is painted...

well guys im souped... if you guys have seen me running around talking about intakes for a very long time and asking all these questions... i am almost done... i was outside freezing my @§§ off painting it just now and i left it to hang dry... it is swinging away in my garage and i just wanted to share with you guys...



i took more pics but they didn't come out... i will take more pics of the install next week when i actually put it in... and for some reason i used less than half of the pipe.. maybe i make it cold air in the summer or just make another intake and sell it to someone... we will see.. take care.. WUHAAAAAAAAAAA

i was actually gonna use tire stems cause i couldn't find rubber grommets... but then i found the grommets... the tire stems would have also worked perfectly because iot would screw in from the outside but the thing was it was too small of a diameter and the tubing would be a pain... so i used the grommets.. i will post pics...

well as for the primer, i couldn't find ne that was high heat but i painted with high heat paint... i doubt that it will rust underneath because it is already aluminized... but i guess we will have to see.. im praying it is warm tomm so i can finally put it in...
