Cool new engine *PICS*

My engine cover painted in blue with my blue AEM CAI and chrome Neuspeed strutbar. I have to thank ALFAV6 and TypeSPebblezz in helping me with the painting. Oh, ALFAV6 is just like mine except his is in a HOT RED color. Wish I had my digi camera to take his so we can compare the two. Tell me what you guys think???

SWEET! I was going to to the same since my bumper was going to be replaced anyways, but the body shop advised me not to since the paint might bubble over time. What kinda of paint did you use? I was going to go with the exact paint as the body.

Nice job on the paint job for the covers. If you use hi-temp engine paint then the paint should hold up. Many of us painted engine parts and found no problem with the heat with the hi-temp paint.

Hey TypeSDragon, nice underhood stuffs.

I know it takes a lot of time and effort to do those mods, but do they give you performance. Or is it just the esthetic of it?

If I spend some time to do those mods under the hood, here in my area, no body will notice it....since my hood is always closes when my car is parked.

But, very nice toy though.

Wow! It matches the bright blue intake tube very well! Good job. I guess you need to keep that clean all the time.
