I wanted to add some color to break up all the black in engine bay. Other guys have done this before but they have left rough portion of engine cover as is and just painted over that section. So I decided to sand down, fill, prime and paint that portion of engine cover I wanted finished look. I still have some finishing touches to complete but I figure I share the pics of my project.

 

It looks different that's for sure. Do you have any pictures of it installed?

 

More pics

 

Looks really good, nice job. Do you have any more info on paint used?

 

outside pics didnt wipe down engine cover before i took pics so you will see dust in some pics.

 

Color matched paint Lexus code 8U1 toyota code Blue Met

 

Not feeling it....too much blue in the engine bay. But great quality job though.

If I had to go blue, I would have matched it with the JoeZ intake's blue.....

 

here you go

 

looks great with the blue intake. nice DIY to give it some usb under the hood!

 

Thanks for compliment regarding quality, I know some people prefer more of stock look. I wanted to color match car on this project the two blues are pretty close when you see them in person.

 

Thanks bnizzle87

 

please excuse the dumb question but I ask cuz idk. But is the black part of ur engine cover come like that from factory or is that vynil? I noticed u have a 2011 F. I have a 09 and mine is grayish silver.

 

yes the engine cover is black from factory on the 2011 ISF

 

Looks great! I can't tell it doesn't match the JoeZ intake... I love the black CF too!

 

Looks great man! Well done!
