Painted My CAI...

ItaliStang · April 2nd, 2008, 12:37 PM

Was bored one night, and had my cai from AM sitting on the desk, so got the idea to paint it... since I saw a black cai I wanted on ebay, but they stopped selling.

Added a little personal touch too... don't know if you would consider it ricey at all... but I don't really care, not like I'm going to be showing off my engine bay all that much... a stock 3.8, whoopty f'in doo

What can I say, insomnia will make you do some really odd things, lol

pretty cool man

whitemustang02 · April 2nd, 2008, 12:53 PM

looks good what did you use to make the skull

ItaliStang · April 2nd, 2008, 01:27 PM

I just used masking tape, stenciled out the skull, and cut the tape with my knife

sanded everything except for the skull with 600 grit sandpaper, and used engine enamel

I figured I just paid 70 bucks for a metal tube that gets my car next to no hp, might as well do something else with it, lol

RavensChild · April 2nd, 2008, 09:14 PM

lol.....looks good i dig it

R3dFyre02 · April 3rd, 2008, 07:17 AM

looks good man. I know its just a stock 3.8, but put up a pic of it installed.

Lt_Crazy · April 3rd, 2008, 12:29 PM

I like it!!! Not ricey at all!!!!

Zatrekaz · April 3rd, 2008, 12:39 PM

Aye, looks great.

I would love to have mine red with a mustang on it, I think that would look sweet.

2 Thumbs Up!! Good Job Man!!

ItaliStang · April 3rd, 2008, 04:09 PM

don't have it installed yet... waiting for some time off to do it (since I'm going to change my spark plugs while it's off), and a warm enough day, lol, but I'll get some pics up when I do

hopefully I'll remember too...

travis_afx · April 3rd, 2008, 07:24 PM

ZOOTOXIN · April 4th, 2008, 08:41 PM

got it installed yesterday, chipped a little paint near the bottom, but a little touch up paint can fix that.

and yes, that is duct tape over the rubber grommet on the top half

had nothing to put there, so put a screw in and taped it up

damn man, looks great

thetrooper31 · April 9th, 2008, 03:32 PM

Onemanzu · April 9th, 2008, 04:36 PM

you should see if there is a nitch in the market for these... paint them with like ford on the side or something like that... make some money

HuskerGT · April 9th, 2008, 06:23 PM

That looks bad ass, man. Nice job.

hmmm.... I like the way you think sir...

idk if I could use ford or mustang symbols though... copy write and all that (if I was to sell it). Don't want to piss off ford enough that they ban usage of pictures or anything

lol

ItaliStang · April 9th, 2008, 06:41 PM

and thanks for the compliments everyone

at least there's something under the hood that looks good now...lol
