must have ten people for this group buy to go through. this time, the group buy will be offered in five different forums, so we should have a better turn out. the group buy deadline on this will be july 4th, 2008.

finally, and IM the first one.... so when do we sent payment. My color Lookie below



Oh i have a fedex account so it will come with a prepaid return postage, is that ok? All you have to do is put it back in the box and slip in the new paper...

>

i'll add your name. group buy wont take affect until we have ten people, so please dont send your valve cover or payment until the list has reached 10.

also, i have four genII 3sgte valve covers i can use as cores including one authentic cover from a celica gt4 (has the straight pipe for the pcv line instead of the bent one)

I want to see how my wheels came out...and if they are as nice as they look on screen (most likely better), then put me down for a strut bar and an SRI

people are always welcome to seek out our services. this particular thread however is solely for a valve cover group buy. i'm offering a very discounted price on valve covers should we have enough interest.

as for your rims, there were two small imperfections on one rim but that was about it. if you can tell me which one it was, i would be rather impressed. i'm a perfectionist so take that with a grain of salt!

i would need to see the strut bar and whatever an sri is before i can give you an accurate quote

What's the core charge for the Celica 3SGTE valve cover?

This post has been edited by WannabeGT4: Jun 7, 2008 - 10:58 PM

$50 for the core charge.....

>Cool, so 105-115 upfront. Mine is already painted black... I assume that's not an issue since you blast them before you coat them anyway.

Do you have any examples of Mercedes Silver, Silver Sparkle,and Xtreme Chrome. Do either of those three match the High Temp Silver if I decided to get my turbo heat shield coated?

ILL PM YOU WITH A PIC TO EXPLAIN WHAT I WANT. YOU KNOW THE RAISED LNES O N THE 7AFE VALVE COVER RIGHT?
ALSO IM 5VZBOUND ON THE MR2 BOARD BTW

please circle what you are talking about cause i'm lost




edit: let me rephrase...please be more specific as to which you want colored

to the top!!

woot!! for becoming a two blue box enthusiast!!!!

LOLs Congrats man.
I thought you didn't have any gen II VC's? Tell me more about this bent PCV line vs straight - you can somewhat ID the valve cover this way?
Also is it possible to powdercoat the Turbo heatshield to match? Or will PC not stand up to the heat?
I think I'm def in now if I can get Griffy to do a bit of photoshop work to see what I like best [hint hint]

EDIT: You mean like this [Mine from the rebuild - sorry for the cell phone pic]:

As opposed to this [From an MR2T that was laying around my friend's garage]:


This post has been edited by DEATH: Jun 9, 2008 - 4:31 PM

yes that is the differences. the straight tube versus the bent tube.

as for the heatshield, we can coat those as well. if you are running a turbo setup, i would reccommend using a high temp coating or a ceramic coating for the heat shield. we offer several of those colors. just check out our site for details

also, griffy just made some changes to our website so please let me know what you think

Griffy in da house. Aw yeaaaaaaaaah. Bawchikawow.


PM me with all your photoshop needs and I will communicate them as such.

i demand a photoshop of a hawt griffgirl strutin' her thang ^_^

i was thinking more like this, but that would be too modest, you are much prettier than that



dont let her fool you guys, she's way HAWT!!

HOLY **** OMFG if I looked like that I'd do things that shouldn't be discussed on a family-friendly forum such as this one.

You're too kind to me... and just attracted to my mind and brilliant sense of humor LOL (plus, you don't know what I look like anyway, do you? I can't remember.)

Hey, in the interest of keeping your thread here on topic, you should add my name to that list up there for formalities.

This post has been edited by GriffGirl: Jun 10, 2008 - 6:42 PM

i suppose i could do that. and ftr, i have seen a pic of yo uand your dogs, and that picture i posted wouldn't do you justice

bump for a nice guy who's smooth with the ladies and great to do business with (and really knows his stuff with this powder coating business!)

"oh yeah and I guess he knows a few things about that powdercoating stuff too...I guess"
So yeah, Griffy and Jazzcoronet - I'm contemplating doing the VC and Turbo heat shield. I 'm pretty sure red would be waaay too much and loose the look I got going already [which for once in my life I'm actually getting high praise for]:

[Actually this pic is a little old - more things are cleaned prepped and painted black while more vac lines have been replaced with red slicone hosing but you get the idea] But if you could do me a quick PS on that Griffy I'd be grateful.
Anyway, baring that idea I'd just keep the current color scheme: Black block, aluminum head/VC/intake mani/Turbo Heat shield or should I go with a high temp crome-ish color?

This post has been edited by DEATH: Jun 11, 2008 - 12:07 PM

Cromeish color? Good lord no... Common bro...

Keep the flatish black & red thru out that bay. And if you could black out all that silver in there, with contrasting redness, it'd deff be the hot sh... Stuff. Hot Stuff. I say you buy it. (After my next paymet to you ofcorse )

I'm gonna have to agree with the black. Personally I'd actually go matte black on the valve cover with red accents. I need to see what your VC looks like though. Look! I found this:


That red is pretty sweet, but IMO would be overkill in your bay. Go black with Toyota in red. Maybe even the little ridge across the center red too. Eh, maybe not. (I feel a photoshop request coming on )

High temp black for the heat shield, no question.

(crap, I just re-read your post and saw the PS request! LOL!)

That's the way to go IMO

OOOh I'm digging that. I also like your idea of the box shaped bossing around the Plug holes in red too.
Keedoke - PS request time. Take that pic of my engine bay above and work the above magic on there and let's see what that looks like - just might be the ticket. Then again the motor might get lost in all that black. remember the head will still be aluminum uncoated so....

Edit - nvm. from that view it just be all black Maybe this isn't such a good idea?

Oh and D-Man - by cromeish I really meant just a little less flatter than bare aluminum but still keeping the same look as I have but with easier to clean coating. Not really chrome - just chromeish

This post has been edited by DEATH: Jun 11, 2008 - 3:01 PM

Yeah, sorry, that's a no on the PS request, it'd be too much work (we're busy now that one of us is gone) plus it really won't show up in that pic.

If you want "chrome-ish", have you considered Silvertone Vein or Hammertone Black? Go to the site to see the colors and you'll see the swatch samples. (I'm in the process of hooking up links to products with those finishes for that page, but there's a LOT of little squares!)

holy crap, i go to work for a day to get some powdercoating done and i come home to this?!?!?!?!?!?

griify, you rock! thanks for keeping the thread alive and enterntaining these requests. my reccomendation to you would be to send me your VC, heat shield, compressor housing, intake manifold, alternator housing, thermostat housing, and coolant neck to be coated in sating black to match your intercooler piping. the letters on the valve cover could be safety red to match the rest of the bay.

seriously, i think super wet black with silver vein mettalic lettering would be really hot for your valve cover. here's a pic of my valve cover on my daily with the same scheme



or better yet, here's a perfect example!!

yay!! we're half way to a group buy
