Where are yall getting the paintable Master cylinder/alternator covers
Dressing up the engine bay cause I'm gonna show the truck next spring in a few shows....Of course I'll need pacesetters to help the look out and I'm gathering parts to build a CAI that I can have painted to match....added a new underhood insulator....
I had my painter spray the vortec cover, fuse box, and he's giving me back my front piece in the AM that shows the belt configuration and the engine size (cant remember what its called)...so thatll set it apart.
I painted the rod that goes over the battery, the wiper fluid cover, the oil fill cap, the brake fill cap, the cruise control module box, both brackets that brace the fender to the firewall, painted the valve covers that bright green to set them off as well as the "Vortec" on the main engine cover. Painted all the coilpacks and the brackets pewter also....I've got a lot more I want to paint such as alternator bracket.....
I recently bought the cover that covers the battery (paintable) and the cover that covers the coolant tank (also paintable) and was wondering about the brake booster and the alternator.
I've seen where guys have covers for the alternator and the brake booster but cant find where they got em. I checked stylintrucks.net they aint got em. Any ideas? Also, anyone know if they sell pewter wire loom lol??
Heres a few pics as of now....engine bay is still dirty, needs a good wipe down and I'm in the process of that now.....I know it looks a lil odd not being finished but I'll get more up as I go
The pics dont do it justice, I'll get more once I get all the covers painted and in....like I said, thinking of painting that big *** alternator bracket, and prolly getting rid of the red on the power box......this pic is older....dont some more since then
