redfire will look like trash on your car......definitly not a fan

as a tenth owner..if i saw someone with redfire pullies and redfire valve color's i'd definitly LOL and keep walking

stick with the wrinkled Red or black......in fact I'd change those pullies to black as well.

just my .02 cents though

Now that's something I have never thought of, or seen... wrinkled red. That might look pretty cool if it was a bright red like the 10th seats. I may do a spare set of covers in wrinkled red just for the heck of it, but so far, I really like the black wrinkled ones on my car.

no worries bro........it's just how I feel. I personally wouldn't be able to live with the two different color red's on my car...but that's just me. It's your car..do what makes YOU happy:beer:


black10th.....there is someone on here who has a bright red wrinkle finish on the valve covers and it looks awesome..i have seen it before. If I ever did it, that's the direction I'd go in.

I think the wrinkle red would look awesome on a black car, but not a red one. The engine bay need to contrast the valve covers IMO.

Wrinkle Black on a Red car = :rockon:

Well guys I went with the redfire. I was going for a different look then everyone else though I do think wrinkle black looks badass but I'm hoping it stands out in a good way. I will post pics of them once I get them installed.

Your car is one of the cleanest cobras out there. I'm sure those covers are gonna look sick. I'll be waiting for some pics and can't believe your selling your wheels again ha.
