Painted the Engine cover, needs a CAI to match though
Was going to go with gold or maybe blue, but decided on red
What do you guys think? Oh, and sorry about the pics, took it with my camera phone.

Yeah...it's a little hard to tell...looks pretty orange...I'm assuming that's not what you intended.

Haha yeah I'm thinking about repainting. It looks alot better than the pictures, but if I were to repaint it, would I have to sand it then paint? or sand+prime then paint, or just prime and paint?

Camera phones = crap.

They're only good for spur-of-the-moment type things when you're without a legit camera.

I bet the cover looks great in real life or in high-quality pictures, though.

Looks okay? Not feeling it a whole lot... If it was more of a Black Cherry type of red I think I'd look better. But Gold/Metallic/Bronze would look sick!

Nice headlights...
