$275 for a painted stock cover that would cost less than $15 to do yourself?

EFI, I’ll be sure to check in with you on all future purchases to make sure they pass your cost/benefit analysis on other people’s cars.

I actually inquired etc about the covers, but he also told me the crazy wait time. I had to get something painted at ford, and they painted mine for me too for very fair cost.

it looks smooth, did you do the smooth as glass option?

Smooth as glass option?

I got mine through RPI as well. The wait for me was almost 3 months, but I also had more done.
The air box cover doesnt fit 100% and the strut covers are to tall. The 3m wouldnt even stick so I had to find another solution. I'm going to be switching them out with different ones.
The rest of the stuff fit good.

I could have bought a spray can for $60 and done it myself, but didn't want to.

Not an option for the V8. Kind of weird. Mine is definitely not smooth as glass.

Well, to be fair I don’t really know how smoothie is made. Would they sand it before paint or after painted, to make it smooth?

Reason I mention it. When mine was painted, I walked in before it was done and he told me he had to finish polishing it out, he had a little drill or whatever and it was buffing/polishing the paint job. And it’s pretty much like glass.

if it is indeed done after, not that you even cared or wanted it smooth. Could you just polish it down smooth?

someone might clarify. No idea how it’s done. I fully agree too, I’m not good at painting stuff and didn’t want to risk messing up my engine cover.

I like yours. All I can suggest to set your bay off would be, to get or paint coolant cover. Would finish your bay. (And remove that little square sticker off your intake hose right in front of the engine) unless it’s important

I bought mine from American muscle or cjpp, can’t remember, and top right of my engine bay is the brake cover.
