WOW, that is a great price on coating.

Hope you get the results you are looking for.

^ I like the coating results so far. Here is another motor I'm building.

I used to use Jet Hot (the actual brand name) and ship stuff out, but I get the same results from the local coater.

That must have taken some real self control for you... Knowing that Jet Hot offers its coatings in green.

Red is no problem, the problem is choosing which red

We have several options for coatings, including but not limited to:

red anodizing (several shades from bright to dark)
red powdercoating (10+ color choices including glossy, candy, pearl, semi-gloss, matte, etc..)
red high heat wrinkle or flat powder coat
red thermal coating

We have flanges for 1NZFE Echo/xB/xA already, as well as for aftermarket larger bore throttle bodies. Just need to specify at time of order.

Either as close to the body color as possible or as close to the Tanbe strut tower brace and AEM CAI. (I have put the rest of the Radiator hoses on since this photo and added the Grounding kit)

not that much, the runners are super long and the motor has a lot of torque. The U20 revs to 7000+ easily. It's in the car now, getting tweaked and tuned.

Red anodizing will match the Tanabe and AEM pieces
Red Powdercoat will match the body color and rad hoses better

We'll quote you on both options when it comes time to order.
