Arrow Painted engine cover
Painted my stock cover to match the car. Never saw where anyone else had done one in Infared.

Looks great!

I'll have to take a picture of mine. The guy I just bought it from had it custom airbrushed with a gator head on it (bought the car in Florida). When he told me I figured it would be the first thing I would change but it actually looks really good.

That does look cool. Spray bomb or paint gun? I think the strut brace might look nice color matched.

Spray gun, had a local auto shop mix the paint best they could. The factory paint is a 3 stage, this was just a 1 stage then clear over top.

There are pictures of your engine cover on here already. The previous owner was a member.
