haha yeah....it lookslike i just sprayed the **** out of it...i actually took A LOT of time masking it..cause you can only mess up once! it is def worth the time!!! like putting on headers haha
Good luck, PM me if you need any help....m my suggestions...use BLACK RTV sealant...i used clear and a lil bit oozed out into the housing...doesnt look bad but i mean if i did it again id use black for sure...
and TAKE YOUR TIME!!

I assume the black just makes it a lil easier to see where the hell its going on? I'd rather not put black sealant on the housing, but I might just do that being my overall scheme is black/pewter so it'll tie in. lol

I used black RTV to seal mine. It doesn't make much of a difference.
