Well I went to my paint guy and dropped off my radiator cover. You know, the black plastic piece that says mustang on it. I am having him sand it down smooth and painting it white to match the original color of the car. Hoping it will clean up the look alittle. I have thought about going with the UPR stainless cover, but I think for my bay it may be too much.

What do you guys think? I don't have a great pic of the piece and my bay, but you can see it in the left of this pic.

Paint the whole thing white. and paint the letters either in red, black, or flames.

That would look bad ass.

Yeah, the whole thing will be white. Not decided on the lettering color. I will either leave it white or paint them black.

White with white letters would look odd IMO.

I planned on painting mine yellow when the body kit gets sprayed. Its a nice custom touch that ties everything in together nicely IMO.

White with red letter would look really clean. especially if the letters were outlined in silver/gray.

my opinion from a graphic design background

i think it will make all the black hoses and front acc. pop more.
IMO if you were to paint the letters i might go with orange since the front of your car is orange.

BTW i really like your VC, i've been wanting to change my oil fill tube to the driver side.

I can never get enough of seeing pics of your car. Absolutely SICK!

I agree with the red letters/silver outline. That would look phenomenal.

I just made a tent in my pants.

Your engine bay is amazing. I think you should do white with red letters.

I finally noticed a flaw in your engine bay... your negative battery cable tab (plastic thing) is popped open.

Word. You had perfect just needed to spend more time with the lasso tool cutting out the letters.

BTW - I like the red letters because that seems to be the "theme" of your engine bay.
