Nice job!

Although I honestly could not care less about how the engine cover looked since I never considered them (not even an iota) as a factor when I rate the cars I've had, the ones I have now, nor the cars I will have in the future.

Here is the S2000 engine bay (AP2)


Here is my 240SX after my 2JZ engine swap and I added NAS.

that engine cover looks sick!! ive been thinking about painting the engine cover just cuz it looks a little bland to me. i know not too many people will be notice it, but it'll make for a good DIY project.

The factory IS-F is a finished masterpiece and modern techno marvel, not a 60's or 70's muscle car or teenage show and tell project.
Agreed.
Leave the hood down, or just take the cover off to show the real techno-marvel.
I promise that it will be appreciated, hoses and whatever notwithstanding.

just think of your Lexus as a Mac. Everything works flawlessly, without you seeing it.
