If you think about it, he can always just take it back in a year or two and paint the engine bay then .

It might make a difference when it comes time to sell the car though...
But in this case, it's nigh unlikely that he'll sell this car.

I'm taking it back to the shop so that they can paint the door handles and touch up a few spots some time next week.

I'll post a picture of the engine bay sometime tomorrow. I think it looks pretty good contrasting against the white.

You should get your rims painted Black to match the roof to top it all off.

......or just leaving it how it is now would look equally as good too

Black rims would look really sick on it.

(I know, it's an RX7 but close enough )

^ It does look good. Since the wheels are three piece, I may separate the lips and have them polished and refinished then have the centers painted black.

That'd be sick. Yeah whatever you do just keep the lips chrome.

I like how the car turned out. Not sure about the engine bay yet - I can't get a good resolution with the network I'm on. Will have to wait until after work

I like it

It draws your eyes in. Id probably polish some pieces to match the VC though.

The only thing that's somewhat off is the red behind the headlights. But still looks good. I don't think anyone would mind considering that great exterior.... what a sweet combo
