Lightbulb Running out of things to do, has anyone painted their Engine Covers?
I was thinking of doing a yellow/black scheme with some blue highlights....

Just like how I dislike the interior silver CF, the engine cover silver just doesn't do it for me....I'm sketching some designs but curious if anyone here has done it already? Not looking to do CF ~ we need some more color in the engine bay

Post pics if you have it!

I think a SP engine cover with CF would look great and match the theme of your car. You could also do other engine pieces to enhance the engine bay

These painted engine covers all share the same color scheme - nothing wrong with that but I remember a USB owner who actually did his own color style.....

dammit my memory is not so good these days!
