back in 1998 I had a bunch of items powder coated at Van Winn in chesapeak. good stuff. I think their minimum order is $100 I ended up doing my K-frame, spindles, Cross member, strut bar, some misc noncar items for $150

back in 2000 I had them do 2 trailer hitches, a tacoma's rear bumper and a strut bar for $150

But from what I've been told by them the price will be higher on items that require more taping/avoidance of sand blasting

i dont recommend the bbk throttle body for the ls1, they stick closed and when you attempt to give the slightest bit of gas it opens too quickly and too far then you're gonna launch yourself into the back of a car in front of you....seen it happen a lot
