Ok, small update today. It bothered me that the rear valence was totally painted, and wasnt black on the lower edge, like the OEM cars are. So today I did something about it. Just had enough black plastidip to finish the job...
while waiting for that to dry, I decided it was finally time to install the other beauty cover that goes over the fuel rail and injectors. gotta cover those pink tops if they are to believe its a M50! I wouldve installed these earlier but the covers are for an OBD2 car which meant I needed to modify both of them The valve cover ... cover... needed to be trimmed since the wiring for the coils is routed different. Then I needed to modify the fuel rail cover because its slotted for the intake manifold ports. Rather than try and match the larger cover, I just cut all the slots out and you cant even tell the difference
To celebrate I decided to take a drive and ended up at Balboa Pier in Newport Beach. Found a decent spot to snap a few pics
totally forgot to take the money shot though!!...
