hey i just thought id let you guys know about my latest successful endevour. ive seen that tpis makes one of those custom nametags for the top of the plenum, but i didnt like it much , (you know where it says on tuned ports "tuned port injection") so i decided to customize my own. well i used a sanding wheel on my dremel and sanded the lettering off and polished the whole name plate. i then printed out the text i wanted on the name plate on my printer and then taped it on the polished plate. i then took a dremel bit made for doing like fine detail work and proceeded to trace out the text. i then ripped out the left over paper and touched up the newly etched lettering and then polished the screws and put it back on. im sorry i dont have pics but let me tell you it came out awesome with a little patience the letters came out great and now it says what i want while adding a little custom touch and shine to the engine....

 

Sounds good. But what does it say? and you really need to get some pics of this

 

yea u really need pics!!!

 

You can't post something like that with out pictures. Geez.... at least tell us what it says?

 

i knew you guys would have a heart attack for me not posting the pics but i have no way at least right now to have pics... it says Desiree in a script font perfectly centered on the tab its my girlfriends stage name and it also is like that movie "a street car named desire" im sorry i dont have pics but just picture that plate shining like crome with a engraging od desiree right in the middle in script. it really came out perfect. ill try to get a pic in the future but if youve ever thought about doing this its well worth it and easy.

 

DUDE! Sounds sweet but pics man.........its a must

 

thats pretty funny.....im having my sis take the pics later they should be posted by the middle of the week or so . so hold on before you linch me...:hail:

 

is your gf a stripper?

 

sounds like it

 

Stage name.... i hope we get pics soon...of the "nametag"

 

you guessed it pics of NAMETAG will be up in the middle of this week..

 

Ahhhh...... "A Street Car(b) Named Desire(e)" .... I give it three for originalty!

 

well im having some trouble getting the pics posted , my siters computer was all jacked up but im still trying and i have the pics i just need to get them on the cpu dont worry ,, ill get them up eventually im still trying so please dont hurt me:hail:

 

ive been thinking of doing something like that so you havent heard this yet but...... PICS ARE A DEFENITE MUST!!!! :lala:

 

engine,...

 

like i said before i still need to polish it down some and etch the name deeper.. but at least u guys get an idea now... what do you think?

 

i'm not too sure if i like it or not, good job getting it done tho

 

its still not a finished product so it does look a little choppy but its a start and it doesnt look as crappy as that close up shot shows all the imperfections...but thanks for replying

 

Custom Looks good hope to see some Finshed Pics.

 

A little simple green would go a long way towards making that look awesome.

 

i like it but i especally like the idea

 

so where's the pics of your gf?

 

I am not to keen on the Desiree on the plate...Looks like something a female would put on the car...but the idea is pretty damn cool!!!

Congrats!!!!!

 

... the captain has turned on the no leg humping sign....

 

I definitely like the idea, but to me it looks like you need to contrast it somehow. It looks kinda dull with the Silver on Silver look. Mine's not a cutom one, but I painted the plate to make it look anodized, and it stands out a lot better.



And by the way, be carefull dating a stripper. I've dated a couple and it would've been cheaper to put a blower and nitrous on my car. But in the meantime, Enjoy.

 

yea paint it and then make the ingraving silver or visa versa.

JGIFFORD - is you plenum powercoated or just painted??? its looks stunning!!!

 

Thanks, It's Powdercoated Glossy Black.

 

Looks neat.

I went with the easy route,

Ram Air plate from MBA I think. It was given to me last year.

Oh, and don't make fun of my gay valve covers. I only paid $30 for them and they were new in the box.

 

some these engines lookin good
