    Nice! I can only dream about something like that...

    DEFINTELY paint the throttle body (otherwise all you'll hear is "how come you didn't do the throttle body?".
    And, personally, I'd lose the strut tower caps or paint them silver. Engine bay is engine bay and motor is motor.

    thanks, i appreciate the input. i'm not feeln the current options for the strut tower covers, so i'll leave it for now. besides, it's scratched up under there. most people don't know that anyways and it goes with the theme. thanks again!

    haha, I might be the ONLY one who feels that way about strut tower covers :bigwink:.

    ...but just in case you try it, I like the covers themselves. I was talking about painting the covers. Maybe paint a set of stock covers instead of the CF ones so Moe doesn't have a hemorage. :rofl2:

    oh!, sorry. i thought about it for a long time. kinda felt that it would be to much flat black. it would make it like one large piece and look like an L. what do you think? i'm ready to do it, tonight and tomorrow. thanks!
