    The white oil pan is the shit!

    ...what really happened is I wanted to see see what something looked like white, I got it :D No one wil ever see it because there is going to be a giant skid plate in the way ;)

      Thanks!
      It's DupliColor High Temp paint...nothing special. They have it at every Kragen, Autozone and every other auto hole.

      I am not a fan of the powdercoat look :down: plus it's more expensive.
