Painted Windshield Cowl
Has anyone painted there windshield cowl? I'm thinking about painting my cowl to match the body of my car or paint it gloss black. What do you guys think, good idea or bad?

^ AC54ME stole the idea after seeing mine....
Dennis!
But, I stole the idea after seeing Jim Dawes (busted knuckle) car. His was the first I'd ever seen painted.

I did mine several years ago (got the idea here from several other forum members). Like the painted look much better (gives the car a slightly different look without being too obvious).
And here is a shot with the cowl induction hood closed. Even gives the car a different appearance with the hood closed.
