I think it's so lame that they put that on there, looking forward to your progress with that. I'll do the same if I go vortech.

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.

Coat #2 in direct sunlight

outside in sunlight

outside no sunlight

against a piece of glossy carbon fiber indoors
