i always assume if you're painting, you're dropping 4-5g's for a full paint, not just painting the exterior and leaving the door jams and engine bay the old color thats ghetto style

yeah if i were to paint the engine bay as a part of the repaint, i'd definitely rip the motor out for the engine bay, just doesn't complete the look for it.

they painted my engine bay and everything.
Paint job is a sick mod... but you'll kick yourself everytime you get
the smallest scratch... I bottomed out pulling into my parking spot
and went nuts and used touch up paint on the underside of my lip.
thats how anal I am

its one thing to take the motor out but its another thing to take every piece out of the engine bay, thats what sucks
you'd be surprised how much shit is in there

i got so scared some high mofo was working on the engine i had my mechanic check everything was in there right.
