That'll look sweet. I'm goin with purple with my green for my car. After I sell my stupid 17's I'm going to get a set of Rota slips or hx rims and paint them same purple as my valve cover. I've got tow hooks I machined that are purple, and the scheme goes on lol. I bought a z6 valve cover that I was going to do purple and the letters white, but I'm buying an ls motor so it's kind of a waste. So I'm just going to sell the z6 valve cover and make some money, got it for cheap at a junk yard.

Wow that's a deal on those Konig's, make sure they aren't bent lol. My 17's are a pain to sell, terrible time of year to sell them. And I want $600 for them so it's going to take some time lol, there's only a few 100 miles on the set and the tires, so they are basicaly new. They look nice but when I put my Skunk2 springs on they are going to rub (I think).

Don't go to HVAC school lol. Its a terrible job to get into. Crawl spaces and attics suck haha. And there are way to many of us layed off in most places. Ive been working residential for a couple years now luckily without being layed off.

Pay is good at commercial places if you can get in. But if its for a non-union company expect to make much less.
