Momentum Keeps Me Going
I painted the covers with a Titanium combination paint (base+color), then added a clear speckle. About 12 coats total. The effect was to mimic the speckle in the VR body paint. Here it doesn't look very special, it's the camera's fault.
.
.Here's the vent painted the same, you can see the natual VR paint speckle and then the vent has a similar speckle look with a nice rainbow effect in the sun.
.
.Here's the best shot, what it looks like in the sun. Matches the speckle in the VR very well
In bright sunlight - beautiful!

.a pretty good pic of the effect on one cover up close

I found out pretty quickly the MS front bumper doesn't agree with the turbo kit. At least not with the fog light addition. the metal on the bottom of the fog light bracket hits the intercooler pipes. I had to bend them backwards to have it fit.
