A couple of pics of today's mod...I took my original two-part 2001 side ducts apart and painted the strakes with Rustoleum 7271 and some urethane clear-coat. 7271 was chosen because it is a good match for my factory alum-look interior vent slats, very sparkly. I wanted the strakes to really "pop" against the dark engine ducting.
Doing this was not easy, because if you have ever looked closely at the driver's side intake duct, the bottom two strakes are molded as one piece and connected at the bottom. So to make the bottom two strakes look separate like the others, you have to carefully mask between the two strakes and below the bottom one. I'm really happy with the way these came out. Enjoy!
