Well i don't really care that most of you guys done care for it, I'm just looking to do something different. My future goal is to get my car into a magazine, and I need custom stuff like this to put me over the top. If i got it cut to fit right and put my own graphics or maybe an emblem on it I think it would look sweet.

I think it has potential. A glossy black or whatever your body color is and maybe some chrome letters or emblem.

i like looking at the engine, its a good looking motor IMO, i would love some nice custom fuel rail covers, but i would never cover the whole thing like that
but props to do what you want to do with YOUR car

I made a Holden engine cover fit. It was tough and you are right, a LOT of cutting, but it looks pretty cool.
