Yes Or No?

Doesn't really add much to your engine bay, but if it were painted (there's a new idea!) I think it would look better and not so..."tacked on".
 
Lucky. I won't be mounting my wipers either, but thanks to the wonderful northeast, I'll need to keep them in the trunk just incase.

Oh, I like the almuminum plate. I definitely won't hate it if you paint it either.

Ah San Diego, historians lost the translation hundreds of years ago, but many believe it translates into "a whales vagina"

^Yep. and painting a panel like that off the car is cake. Lay it on sawhorses and spray. Just scuff it with some 400 grit, prime, scuff agan and paint. Cake.
 
Give me your car. I offer you nothing in return, I just need to own it.

I like the panel a lot, Scott Rod puts out some pretty nice stuff and having fabbed up, if you can even call it that, dash panels and interior panels in that exact same style before, at $40 a piece it's a pretty good deal for you and old Scott is making a killing on materials and labor. Win-win. I say keep it
 
FWIW I think painting it but leaving the raised strip in silver would look pretty slick. It'd match on both accounts and would tie itself in very nicely IMO.
