Default new project...
in the light of our show on saturday, i noticed i need some umph under my hood, other than a hemi swap LOL, so i started looking for dress up kits and the like, well theres nothing for a 4.7l so to get me by im going to add some color, and for me to add the color of choice i'd need to paint my valve covers, well unless i want a common color theres no way i can do that, so what i have devised is a plan to make a valve cover and coil "cover" similar to the srt8 cover they offer, it may take me a little bit but im gonna try it...i think it would make the bay look better and then i can paint it the color i wish to match what ever color i choose to paint the intake tube and some other small things just to give it some pizzaz with out riceburner appeal....

What about getting some used valve covers from a pick and pull and having them powdercoated your choice of color?
