Custom Anodized Titanium Engine cover
After hours and hours of measuring, cutting, welding, polishing, anodizing, we are proud to present the Ballistic Ti Engine cover. Enjoy! Piping, strut bar, and other goodies coming soon!






Ignore the water dropplet...lol

I understand what you mean. The reason they look like that is because the breaks are gold. Every time you lift the TIG welder, the part welded last turns a gold color because of the argon. They look a bit better in person in the light We could have sanded them down so you wouldn't even see the welds, but we decided to leave them as-is so you can see the color.

I would buy it if the welds were better, other than that it is a spot on piece!

If it said ARC on it everyone would be throwing their panties at you.

I think it looks great. Kudos for the hard work.
