The head has a recess to suit the rocker cover, totally different from the earlier models.

good work mate. looks tops.

Can you get it done in the body colour of your car? or does it require special heat resistant paint?

You have to get heat resistant paint to get the same colour as your body, powder coating only comes in a certain amount of colours and these are mainly pastol. Here is the colour range most powder coaters use http://www.duluxpowders.com.au/powd/...15_colours.pdf
