Came to me slightly damaged in shipping

I rolled it out after I worked on my engine stuff this weekend and it came out great. Aluminum is so easy to work with.

Gotta wrap it up nicely so it doesn't get messed up in shipping again.

I also didn't like my fuel rail last time because the original anodizing had some lines in it. So, I blasted it down and redid it. Now it looks so nice - consistent and almost looks like it has a metallic paint finish under the red, due to the glittery effect of blasted aluminum

He has a turbo M3 in california and needs the piping to look "OEM". Wrinkle black is a very very cool finish. Very clean looking. Black chrome is one of those finishes that I used for like a month and now I am like "meh".

That red I used is called "anodized red" - it has to be applied over a bright silver or polished surface for the effect. I am not sure how it'd hold up being torqued and all - might damage the powder coat over time. You could try it though.
