Default UPP TT Z06 Kit, Looking for some feedback.

So most of you know we're getting really close to releasing our TT top mount kit for the C6 Z06/GS, and we're in the final stages now, and I'm trying to account for everything that's going into the kit so we can develop a definitive cost. But there's just a few cosmetic issues that I'd like to work out first, and get some feedback from the community.


Namely the coil covers.
Currently: (1) they're slated to be made from aluminum, left in a raw brushed form, and tagged with our TT logo in a black/dark color.

or (2) we can make them out of steel, and have them powder-coated black, which would match the front vanity cover over the IC (unlike shown in pic), and tag them with a silver TT logo.

or (3) we can keep them aluminum, waterjet out our TT logo and add a black powder-coated back drop to give it more of a 3D look.


Then the radiator coolant tank is scheduled to be aluminum, we can coat this black as well or leave in raw/brushed form.


Thoughts?
And if we could please keep this on topic, I'm looking to finish this up here soon, not get into why we did xyz.

I like the raw look of the motor itself and/or the way Katech raised them up. Those Top mounts look sick and speak for themselves haha

Rad cover looks clean

Unfortunately the Ktech coil location wouldn't work, nor would the plug wire routing. Plus these also hide the coil/injector wiring and act as a heat shield for the whole lot.

I would go powder coated black with water-jetted logo with brushed background to match the front shroud (aluminum/ steel doesn't matter) , powder coated black aluminum reservoir.. my personal opinion would be to also extend the vanity covers to cover the whole valve cover.. the way it is I would need to polish or have the valve covers painted to blend more.

I like it raw aluminum. You should leave them as is and charge an extra depending on the finish.

I love it! It looks like a custom made setup instead of an off the shelf kit!

But, I'm sure some like the shiny black look so you may offer that as an option.
