Default Painted My Lid.. Again!

Well, my original plans were going to be way different, but while painting, I saw something that IMO looked way to freakin' awesome to NOT do.

The bird is actually silver and black, it looks white in the pics for some reason..



My engine bay looks really orange for some reason..



edit: Oh crap I forgot to put the clips on LOL. *runs outside*

Thanks. Not really, doesn't really seem necessary. Plus I don't wanna overdo it.
