Default Painted Some Engine Bay Stuff.. Whatcha think?

Changed some stuff up and painted a couple different things. Lemme know what you guys think, any suggestions or anything like that as well!

I know, the AIR & EGR gotta go. My tuner just quoted me $175 to tune out the codes. Wtf, is it that expensive?

Anyway, had to use the point and shoot camera so bare with me! Color is Dark Charcoal Metallic. Sorry for the smudges everywhere lol. Think I'm gonna polish the AC condenser tomorrow.

Thanks dude! Love the fat tires on your car. I gotta redo the bird, if you look at the last pic the overlay didn't lay flat. The gloss refracts every little spot lol!

I think the bird overlay would look better moved down about an inch but besides that it looks real clean. Good job

$175 is about standard, it's like $150 to unlock your vin in hp tuners

Oh man the red actually looks good in there.. I was thinking about red but thought it would pop too much. My valve covers are already black, I'm starting to think screw the polished TB, paint everything black. Hmmm.. decisions decisions..
