Hello people, after our last Porsche Cayman engine we were contacted by another Cayman owner wanting some custom painting, install lights and then all covered up with a HIP Designs clear cover.



We were also going to do a makeover on his brake calipers and some interior pieces but they decided to just do the engine for now. I don`t have a great many pictures for this one as our week was extremely busy so I had to get right down to it.



With each engine makeover we do we seek to make each one different.....the concept is the same but the outcome or results we want to be unique so if two clients happen to be at the same event they won`t be caught wearing "the same dress" so to speak.



This was the engine area prior to being paint but about half way through the cleaning/detailing stage.

That`s the only "before" picture I have re-sized at the moment, sorry.





On this particular Cayman engine we removed a good portion of the intake pieces, we went with a silver, red and white scheme and red and white LEDs.



Center piece was painted a metallic silver, intake caps painted red with the PORSCHE logos painted with a pearl white. Metal pieces polished all nice and pretty. HIP Designs cover piece installed and here are the results.

Well thats all she wrote on this one. The client was super happy with the results which makes all the work worthwhile.



Thanks for looking,

Anthony

Looking for ideas for my engine cover. Originally was going to leave it off but since I am contemplating some mods that may require O2 sims, under the engine cover is a great hiding place. ;)
