im working on it. but i've been told the 5s VC is different on celicas than it is on mr2s. any insight to this?
i will poak around a bit stephen, and find a few pics to illustrate what im talking about.
the later 5sfe valve covers are "taller" than the early versions.
IIRC the only diffrence between the 3s covers is the PCV vent tube.

thanks for the pic
the IM has much more coatable surface area than a valve cover and requires more prep work, hence the price difference. but like i said, i was roughly estimating the cost based on 3s-gte parts. they are subject to change

bump bump bump!
that chrome looks awesome, but wont the chrome turn orange or bronze or time on the manifold?
nope. chrome plating turns colors when it heats up over time. chrome powder will not fade, chip, peel, or crack. at the very worst it will oxidize over time

sweet after the vc get done ill probaly have you chrome other parts later

2) How much to do this?

Cool. Let me see if my bro wants in on this, he's got some parts he looking to color. And if my strut bar comes in, then you might be adding 3 more parts to this GB...

havent read the whole thread but do you powdercoat calipers? i have stock calipers on my tc and wanted to get them painted red. how much?
This post has been edited by JoKeRkId613: Apr 8, 2008 - 9:58 AM
calipers i can do as well. be sure to send them completely taken apart. i dont want to be responsible for anything being broken. 1 pston calipers start at $45, 2-piston start at $60 all variant on color
Gi_Shu_Som Powdercoating FTMFW!!!!
if your name doesnt have a color listed next to it, i need to know now so i can go ahead and order the powder if i dont already have it in stock. also, please let me know when you ship out your valve covers so i can keep my eyes open on them. they will be completed in the order in which received.
there is still 6 more days left to get in on this group buy. If i can source another 91-92 3sgte valve cover, we will have our 15 mark and the prices will go down an additional $10
Gi_Shu_Som Powdercoating FTMFW!!!!
I'm in for a 93 3sgte core exchange...
6gsillyca....
you have been added to the list. your cost is $125+shipping. please provide your address and color choice so i can get started
