This sounds silly but painting the pipes oem whiteout and adding silver ghost skulls and fake smoke effect. I've been an auto painter since 05

Not sure if I should modify the blower before I know it works. But I'm just polishing the ar cover. And just the smooth round of that.

I like the black on the blower myself but the white piping and other effects sounds pretty cool.

blacked out "vortech supercharger" emblem

Im definitely not ashamed to have the word vortech on my car just I want more of a sleeper look. Started to sand the paint edges with gray scuff pad. Then I spray prep solvent on the letters and it wiped right off. Next I did a coat of bulldog adhesion promoter, followed by 2 coats of VHT Header black, Flat black so it dosent reflect any light ( more stealth) seems a little gray in direct sun light. but in low light situations should be hard to see. I also will be painting the hose clamps and the couplers. :party0030:

I can certainly appreciate the desire to keep the sleeper look. Nice work, not many would have bothered with the that much prep.:thumbup:

Lol well I wanted to last. The black vortech powder coat is really nice. Scuff pad barely phased it. The silver on the other hand. Didn't expect prep solvent to dissolve it :wub:

Do you think you could have removed the letters completely if you hadn't already scuffed the area? Just thinking this might be good info for others that feel that same way.

This setups bad ass, seems to be the "right amount" of gains and not overkill and decent price. Rumours have it TRD will be supercharger and probably cause they to realize the cars other mechanical limitations. Vortech needs to sell patent rights to TRD to speed up public warrantee availability? :)

ONLY thing holding me back from this system is warranty nothing else.

They have their own supercharger division so its not that difficult with their development division. You're guaranteed right on price no doubt but I can't afford to not have warranty otherwise I'd have added this system to cart days ago as to me it seems to be the simplest and most common sense to the car, IMO anyhow.

I'm going to this show and want to see if I can get any clarification at all, I realize that's just some chaps chatting but there was no hesitation in them saying it was on the plate from where I stood.
