Nice!! That is a big change. You have them in all the right places. That is a real stopper at car shows I bet. I like that underhood shot man!!

haha thanks yeah, i remember when i first painted my car i use to be embarrassed to pop the hood at car shows because the outside looked really nice but under the hood looked horrible... it feels much better now that the under looks decent and i can not feel like an idiot...heres a better shot on my camera:

What kind of clearcoat did you use? I can't even see your A/C compressor...haha.

Seriously, I just had mine painted. When I opened the hood, I noticed how bad my engine bay looks.

Nice work. I love the black. I might have to do the same thing when the motor gets pulled for teh rebuild.

Maaan....this makes me want to take the front of my 5.0L apart. Paint everything silver, and put it back together.

Looks awesome. Did you paint the brackets too? What kind of pain did you use?
