Beautiful engine compartment! I'm not a big fan of the Doom? theme under the hood but still nicely done. I have the feeling you're going to wear out the hood hinges showing it off. Congrats!

Nice work on the engine components. But the hoodliner just doesn't do it for me for some reason - maybe its just the skulls on there. Still, some productive winter projects for you.

Nicely done in the engine bay. I think the red coupler needs to be changed to black, as it just does not seen to flow with the new colors. Nice work on the hood line, but I too am nor a big fan of the doom theme.

Thanks, I was actually supposed to buy a widebody kit and some Ashantis but I put that on hold and went to Tijuana, Mx to have a Gastric sleeve surgery done. It has been 7 weeks so far and I have lost over 60 lbs. I guess you could say I made an investment in myself. Theres always next winter.

PS I know flames and skulls are not for everyone but I have a grand theme for this C5. I think outside the box

I agree. I just noticed another C5 with a red boot and it looked horrible. He said it was only 1 year old. I will be purchasing a black boot when I find the grenade covers for the wheel wells
