Could you guys post pics of powdercoated TPI's

I'm thinking about getting my plenum and maybe runners powdercoated like chrome, but the sample piece that the place I went to gave me didn't look very glossy so I want to show him some pics of what I want it to look like. If you could post color codes too if you have them that would be great.

Thanks

Go to cruzinperformance.com and check out the customized TPI units. They have a black powdercoated unit with polished fuel rails. Looks F'n sweet.

stock runners can't be powdercoated or ceramic coated....... they can be polished or chromed though; the plenum on the other hand along with your valve covers and whatnot can be delt with any way you choose.

I have some pics of certain parts ceramic coated which is as close as you get with a coating without polishing or chrome plating....... email me if you want a pic.
