Unfinished... Front panel still needed to be finished in silver CF and Engine Panel V painted. But it will probably never get finished since i moved onto a new project.

@UniSlayEX - I can't tell too well, are the trim pieces painted black or has trim dressing on it? Looks really nice

Thanks buddy. Not trying to kill it, just showing what's inside there. The strut bar is GT Spec.

Thanks! I clean it when I clean the car. More than likely had dressing on it but not the glossy kind.

Here's a photo of a paint matched engine bay:

hope Bleezy don't mind...



hopefully she'll hop on and post a better one
