Looks good to me. Not at all too much, very tastefully done.

Hoenstly, I think it really looks great.......except for the lines on the tanks.

But regardless, to each his own......AND it looks much better than mine does right now, so who am I!

Default Pics of My Engine....What Do You Guys Think?? Too Much??

I agree with the other poster, I am not big on the lines on the tanks. I am really not the person to comment. I have never liked cosmetic uprades on cars besides wheels and exhaust. I always thought money would be better spent on performance instead of cosmetic upgrades. I will say many of the mods look great, but can get out of hand. Maybe I am to old school. I guess I like the way the general did it!

Looks good to me especially if you plan on doing a little showing. Can I assume a hood liner is in the future plans?

Yup, that'll be one I'll be redueing as well, with a couple other little items.
More to come.....

you that "R" sticker adds about 15 RWHP right?

I think it looks great, not over the top, most importantly, unique. I've never seen the stripes before.

How about a little chrome? maybe the alternator or something?

I wish you could see it up close and in person.
It looks better in person, the stripes on the tank are my favorite part. ........

.....every end of each one of those stripes are actually cut in a diamond shape, so they come to a point at the end.
oh well, to each his own....and to me....mine.
it's my everyday drive, no showrooms for her...
