Engine Compartment Redone

Most of you remember my engine compartment, it contained a lot of "Bling", I liked it but when the sun was shining on the stainless steel it showed all it's imperfections and light scratches. I found a local shop that was doing some great things with powder coating. Check out the before and after picks (click on the link).

To me, both are a little overkill, but thats just my opinion. As long as you like it, thats all that matters.

great job, it pays to see the results after busting your butt, black finger nails, lacerations, beer and lots of beautiful words.

Actually both looked pretty good. The only think I didnt like was the giant bowties on the before picture. Both looked like a fun project and its your car so your the only person you need to please. I think the latest look does indeed look better.
