Default painted engine bay
well i finally got around to doing this. it took me 2 weeks to do it. filled in all the bolt holes, hid the traction control and painted back of headlights black, i'm surprise how good it turned out, and it looks a lot better.

Looks good, a lot better than before! That second pic looked like GM outfitted an SS for desert storm or something. Nice work
