I just finished doing a little paint work on my engine cover. I am pretty pleased. If only my abs looked like this.

Thanks guys. It was fun to do. Pretty difficult to get the areas in the V6 and 3.5 badges taped off. I am happy with the results.

Same here!!! So instead I ended up painting my plenum and hanging the engine cover on the wall in my garage.



Yours looks good tho - I like the color match!

Hahaha. So true!
The other day, I got a little black gloss vinyl and put it over the door handle just to see how it looks and didn't like it. I might do it white carbon fiber and if I still don't like it, go with the default...matte B!
