Looks awesome. Thanks for the write-up.
I haven’t used Cerakote paint product, but I have applied their trim coat restoration kit to several vehicles. Like you said, it performs exactly as advertised. Great product.
Just watch their video, follow their instructions.
IMHO, a much better, inexpensive alternative is to grab a piece of aluminum foil and form it in a trough shape.
You can always clean it for reuse, or clean and place in recycling. I just pitch mine.
FWIW: Instead of “ripping” the sound tube out of the firewall, you can easily remove the nut that holds its mounting bracket from under the car.
Here’s what I used:
- 1/4” drive ratchet
- 11” of extensions
- 10mm deep well socket
- 1/4” U-Joint
@DFB5.0 Have you heard of or used these?
Think it was on a Hagerty channel a dude that cleaned high end automotive vehicles used these religiously to clean difficult areas like the OP has.
Not trying to hijack the thread as I think both products might work.
But I wanted DFB5.0’s expert...
@Extreme Online Store
Since ya bumped this thread, I’ll ask one more time. It’s been 10 months.
BTW, if your answer is no, at least say so. Not responding at all doesn’t bode well for your customer service.
If you’re going to spend that much dough, create a spreadsheet, and compare them yourself.
Here’s a start.

That’s way overpriced. Think about the day when you try to explain and resell it.
I wouldn’t touch a used car that’s been wrecked, with a pro charger/tune. Good luck.
Got a couple more questions:
- How do you know that the newest ones are torquing the lugs to the setting on the wrench?
- What certification standard did you use to calibrate your older ones?
- Is the calibration still valid?
- What is the tolerance you checked them to?
- Have you/are you going...
