Thumbs up the OMG FINALLY build!

guess what guys? engine is coming out cause i blew my clutch again, to top it off im going to remove all of the ABS and the car is finally going to get painted!

just started unplugging stuff, this time im gonna take my sweet time because there's no need to rush and wont have clutch to put back in. so i can work on the car and get it ready. might redo the engine too!

Paint to match unless your painting your car black which would make the engine bay black, IMO.

Color match the engine bay, or paint it white so that you can spot leaks and such

I vote color match unless you are going to do a color other than black like silver or gold (for the engine bay that is).

The RSP looks really good with polished parts!!

Color match for sure. Not really a fan of mismatch engine bays.
