Not my style, but it looks good. The fuel rails don't really match with everything else though.

Looks good, just too much red in my opinion. I would have gone with gloss black.

However, to each their own, still looks good.

I do think it looks great, but i have this thought that the red cables and hoses resemble wire loom imo, i think if ya lost that it would look better, but thats imo, it does look very killer so dont think im not giving you props,and its your car so mo doesnt mean anything,again great work
