    I am waiting on parts to come back from the Chrome shop. The big breather is just for show. I plan on driving with the stock cap and throwing the breather on at shows.

    Your coil pack bracket is going to cover up "ZZPer" and all you're gonna see is "formance".

    Bracket? Who needs a bracket. Anyway we do a lot of stuff to our cars that cant be seen or has to be pointed out to the untrained eye. So no big deal. I polish the inside of my rims, but who sees that? Probably just me. I'm happy with them.
    I took my stockers and plan on doing some airbrushing on them this summer. I'll have those on at a later date.

    Ya their customer service sucks and I know a few people that have used their PCM's and made their car go boom. I haven't ever had problems with the products just service.

    So far they have been cool with me. One valve cover had a chip in it. They sent a new one and gave me a 10 dollar credit on my 8 dollar return shipping. Then I decided to return their dogbones because they werent polished and bought ones from 3800. They refunded me no questions asked. So far I cant complain about ZZP. I have heard good and bad about them. Same with Intense. I hear good and bad. Hard to know who to go with seems everyone has a bad experience with one or the other.
