That's a pretty good paint job. Do you have gold rims with your PWP?

Agreed, the gold is a beautiful color but only in moderation. So I don't think I will paint anything else gold other than what I already have. I really did it to bring out the red valve cover, because with the JDM silver and silver intake mani blended in. So with that being said, I'll stay where I'm at, don't need that much bling under the hood
