I love how you hold your hood up! lol Why didn't you attach the OEM shocks?

Btw, I do like what you've done with the color.

That was just something that was lying around in the shop. At home I use a broom handle and boy does it really make things 'pop.' No, actually the OEM struts may and likely will, over time, warp my Seibon CF hood. I need to find some different struts or figure out a more personalized way to hold up my hood now that I've something to look at in there.

I just tonight found a local guy who does very good custom air brushing so I'm trying to think of something to do on that silver. Nothing over the top like flames. Something subtle, classy, yet cool. I'm not really finding any ideas on google searching since few cars with custom painted engine bays have such cover-coverage. If anyone has seen anything done with such big engine covers I welcome all input.

yeah I dont like wraps unless possibly interior trim, IF that but even then I'd feel like a tool with fake carbon fiber.

No offense to anyone who does it, of course. Just not for me. I think I'm going to have some subtle airbrush work done.

Yeah, i just have NO idea what i'd do graphics-wise. Plus there's so many lines and curves on the covers that be might disruptive. I thought of maybe a very subtly blended smoke
