I agree, and at this point they won't be polished since the fiasco at the powder coater. I don't want to buy another set.

I'd even paint the brake booster the same color at that point...but that's just me being ocd...

I'll start with the valve covers being painted the roof color with orange engraving and go from there. The brake booster is already the roof color.

To me the simple black lettering, with the 2 color wavelength looks classy, pops, but does not go over board.
My wife liked the last 2, but to me the lettering with the orange in it was over the top, looked too busy to me.

I wanted you to see them before I voted on which one I liked.

Good luck on whatever you decide to do, versus what you end up doing of course LOL !!!

Thanks again for the input and help with the visuals. I plan on the roof color with orange engraving for now. That is bound to change before it is said and done. Ronnie is rubbing off on me. jk Ronnie.

Alan, I know that you will make the right choice on what to do about the valve covers. You have done such a good job with every thing else on this build. Another thought would be to the valve covers and air cleaner in gloss black with the orange detailing in the lettering. Just another idea to toss around.

Oh, the choices. I can't take the pressure. jk That's would probably look nice. Still leaning towards silver/orange for now.
