Carbon Fiber Engine Cover
So I had my engine cover hydro-dipped in carbon fiber when I was doing
the interior pieces. Since the center portion of the cover is textured we had
to leave that part alone. I was going to paint that gloss black with brake calipers
2 stage paint in black. What do you think? Gloss black or some other color?

That's not a bad idea. It would be reminiscent to the design used for the Lexus RC-F:

I think it looks awesome as is. If you want to add a little color, I would do about 1/2 inch stripe around the edge in that blue.

Honestly it looks awesome as it is. Painting the "L" logo blue would make it 'stand out' a bit more I guess (If you can even say that)

I like the idea of it. It'll stand out a lot! How much did all of it cost?
