you could always cover them yourself in cf. Or get them sprayed to match your cars color

I plan on doing the same thing soon. However, instead of painting them the color of the car itself, I'm going to try and match paint with the powder coat on my AEM CAI, cause I like the uniformity.

Ive been thinking of painting my interior parts

That color looks pretty killer

All three of those are awesome, but I have to say I love the midnight black the most. Tried googling it, what's the paint code for that?

LOL - here is a shot with no flash.

I purchased a new set of covers, from a forum vendor, and sent them up to Blaine, WA. From there they did the rest. It was awesome service. How about I send you the link to the website instead? LINKY Looks like they have two websites now also.

i do not know the paint code. my body shop guy said he had a sick color he wanted to show me. he had it on his car's roof. i thought it was black until i seen it from another angle and then it was blue. just call your body shop and see if they know what color you mean. if they give you a hard time just say its black with a blue flake. might also help to ask if they have any paint samples.

Let me look and see if I can find the invoice - it's been awhile. It was under $100

When I drop the new engine in, I will have more parts coated.
