Default Underhood graphics... where and how?

I noticed several of the great pics of your cars show some cool paint/airbrushing of the underhood mat. Is this something you guys are doing yourself? Or are you having it done by an artist? Some of them look REALLY good ("redzone" comes to mind) and I am wanting to do the same. I have no artistic talent, so where would I go for something like that? I could at least paint the emblem, what kind of paint?

Any help is appreciated...

Thanks!

There's a DIY at fixedroofcoupe.com. Here's the link: http://fixedroofcoupe.com/howtodefau...t=0&howto=hood

I did mine last week, and it came out looking sweet. For all the things needed to perform this task, it cost me about $15.

I did the one on my 97, pretty easy. I'm thinking about doing something different this time.

Track down PaulaH here on the forum - she has done many hoodliners for members. There are some others I'm sure.
