What have you done with your Spider ? - updated PICS!!!!

The coolest one I have seen was a "black chrome" powder coated one done locally then sold to an attorney, I believe, out on the left coast. It had been smoothed before powder coating and it was awesome!

The very best thing you can EVER do to your spider intake is to have it powder-coated! I did it in silver. DON'T do anything else! It will look FAKE-

[It is your car, of course...]

I had mine done about 5 years ago and it looks SO MUCH BETTER! I'm anal about keeping the engine clean, and this has saved me a LOT of work!

Red plug wires are OK, but stay away from colored silicone vacuum tubes; That looks cheesy-

I have already found a powder coating place that appears to do very good work for decent $$$

Thanks for the advice! Yeah the yellow came from it being so drab when I first got it and one of the first things I did was fix the A/C and vacuum issues. Once I get more good color in there I can make a better decision on that. I colored it initially because I wanted to see what was vacuum at a glance, while we brought it into shape.

Grinding down the rough edges, silver powdercoat and a nice new emblem. Also did the oil cannister,water bridge, and cross brace.

What is the consensus on the strut tie bar being silver versus black?

I think I would put it back as black, especially if I did the whole Spider silver. That Silver PC looks good though nice job!

I have seen a Carbon Fiber one that looks good too.

Hold On - where did you get the new Gold Emblem? Is that 4 inch? I would like to do Gold whatever I choose for the Spider itself
