Awesome!!! Those look really good.... and really tempting. I can't wait to see the results. My car is all stock and is painted powder blue, so I wonder which of gloss black or flat black or chrome would look the best.... ? are there any other finishes?

CHROME BRO!!!

But they can do anything you want. They are steel...and they have all the powder and anodizing guys there close to them.

A white powder with a blue pearl laid over it would look hot on yours too!!!

Maximum Motorsports oil filter relocation kit....the crossmember is tight and to get that 4 valve as low as possible, I moved the oil filter to keep her low!
