Default Opinions on truefire in engine bay...

I'm tired of the plain look of my engine bay. I'm looking to change it up for a really catchy look for car shows and the like. My thoughts are doing the true fire on my lid, fuel-rail covers, and the intake. Instead of having yellow in the flames, however, the flames would be red to match the car. I think it would be a really cool look. What do you guys think???

And I thought this would be the right section for this, but if this needs to be in the appearance section you can close it and I'll go there. Thanks!

I don't think that would look all that great. Only because your car is pretty 'basic' as far as the exterior paint. Maybe if you match the body color to the lid and possibly a ghost flame?

i agree, stick with a simple scheme that matches the car. i think painting parts under the hood is a great idea to make you car stand out though.

I like that idea. I hadn't thought about a ghost flame. It would be unique I think.


If it make any difference, I have the SLP grill and and scoop insert now, so my car looks like this...(not my car, but I don't have the new pics of my car yet)

Homerunhtr21, your lid came out looking really good. Matches well with your FRC's and your whole car... Nice job.
