Pictures of the 99BlackSandv6!!

......but back on topic
Instead on engraving, could you stamp the letters where they rise up off the cover a little. The cover would be gloss black w/red letters.

Well, stamping is expensive, there is a lot of extra cost involved in getting the tooling made. So I will see if that is a possibility, as far as paint though, that is absolutely doable. And it would look sick!

^Sweet!
Like I said before, I wont be modding till Oct or so.
1st- I gotta fix my sunroof
2nd I gotta fix my lower intake gasket leak
3rd Im gona do the Eric Sol BBK w/Supra Rotors.

...so it might be Sept before I think about an engine cover, but it would look sick with the red theme I have under the hood.

get it engraved with trd and i will be your first buyer just pm me when you got some pics

[99BlackSandv6]

TxBmbleBee, I will definitely get right on that
Now do you want something like an outline, or a full-on TRD logo etched into the metal? Etched or engraved?

[TxBmbleBee]

i personally think it would be cool to have the letters sunk into the metal. im not sure if that is engraving or etching. i am indifferent right now on adding color

[LEE337]

^Im pretty sure your talking about stamping too.
Except you want the letters to sink down instead of rising up. right?

[TxBmbleBee]

Yep exactly^^

Oh boy...well guys stamping is possible, but not for $80. The amount of time and money I would have to invest to get the stuff tooled and stamped would be a lot. Plus I would have to send the stuff away to get stamping done. So if you want I can look into it and see: how much time, how much money, who, and where.
Right now I can make these myself about 2-3 per week easy enough. And painting as well as etching, are very doable. Engraving is also doable, but I would have someone else do it.
I can also make these with Stainless Steel which has a wicked shine to it. That would be just a little more expensive. Also in mirror polished aluminum.
I do have an idea about a substitute for stamping that would look just as good, but would be more doable as far as cost.

i second the motion for having TRD engraved in it, I would want to see how that looks, I would most likely be interested if it comes out nice... keep us posted... =o)

Car looks good man.
I would shave the "SE V6" emblems, IMO.
Like i said in your F/S section, the engine cover looks really nice for the engine bay.
You should change your coolant reservior to a 1998 Toyota Camry V6 one, less coolant mess.

Definitely need to lower it. lol.
Still looks good though man.

Thanks Sleeper.
I will eventually, problem is two of the emblems fell off a few years back and are now very firmly epoxied to the door.
Thanks buy it if you like it
Cool, Sleeper, I didn't know the reservoirs were different. I'll find some pics and see what I think. Do they bolt right up?

I agree and I will.
Thanks.
