    IMO, I think it would go better if you had a white car. It looks a little bit out of place

    So far so good Tony, paint the rings, the words, and the screws back to flat black, turn your oil cap right side up, and get the intake mani polished or powdercoated black and that will be stealth

    a clear engine cover would look pretty cool.

    yours is definitely different and original.

    Thanks for the C&C guys. I'm going to move forward with it still and maybe you guys will like the finished product better. If not, oh well!

    I'm aware there's no white on my car. I like the way grey, black, and white flow. I like the contrast it gives.
