Painted front plastic piece in engine bay
i painted mine with a rattlecan, along with all the other paitned items you see. i couldnt get that piece out, so i just taped everything up and painted away. it turned out OK, but i wishi woulda cleared it or actually used a real gun on it.
thanks guys....actually i saw the other day where someone had their lid, lower airbox, and all the bumper supports profesiionally painted black and buried in clear....ill see ifi can dig that thread up.
found it.........no pics of the paitned stuff isntalled, but this is the nicest painted engine bay stuff i have ever seens before.

I was thinking of buying sheets of carbon fiber rolls and laying them over the factory pieces and drowning them in gloss laquer. I think carbon fiber is going to be my next addition to the polish/ de-clutter theme.

I just recently took out the bumper support along with all the brackets in the front end and am having them painted. I'll post pics once they are done, the parts are at the painter now.
i couldnt get the push pins out to pull the bumper support off. instead of the pin comming out, the bumper started to crack a little bity. can you just cut em off and just by some more? if so...wherecan you get them?

This is kind of a bad angle, but this is what I did with rattle can. It turned out pretty good and is glossy, but just not like I wanted it. I think it look real good when done .. hopefully lol
i plan on removing that piece (its called the radiator support) and use some polished aluminum band to hold the radiator on each side. then fab a corvette blackwing in for an intake
