Nice work on the mural very detailed!

The lights remind of a titty bar just missing a stripper pole and some dancers!!

Looks like Christmas under the hood, but it doesn't go with the tribute theme on the hood? But kudos on your effort and attention to detail.

The mural looks really good. I like the fuel rail covers as well.

I like the hood liner and FRCs, however the lights not so much.

Perhaps just a row of hidden lights underneath the cowl to light up the engine bay for night car shows.

The mural is spectacular but the engine compartment looks like it should be on a different vehicle.

Very nice mural - someone has a lot of talent (including you if you are the one that painted it). IMO, the lights just don't add anything to your underhood area - sorry.
