I dont understand some of you guys. You have all that time and money invested in your cars. And then you pop the damn hood and wala a pile of **** emerges because you did a half *** paint job and left underneath the hood ******* stock original color. What the ****

Well no complaints if it is free but if he can afford 800 for a Mugen Valve Cover then he should at least try to make it look like they did it right and have them do the engine bay too. Shouldnt be more then a few hundred dollars.

Not bashing on the car because it is a sick car. But when you pop the hood it is just like a Super model with fucked up teeth. DAMN

Ya I thought of that but that car has a lot of bling. Carbon Fiber door panels and if he is gonna spend the money on that just ASSUMED ( and I know that is the mother of all ****-ups) that he would get the real Mugen Valve Cover. I just think it would look a thousand times better with the under side of the hood matching the outside. Just My .02 cents

Color
I'm not really feelin the cf door panels, but hey, whatever floats your boat

Overall, it's something I would look twice at

At least under the hood wasnt some total unmatched color like teal or blue!

You guys bitch alot. Maybe getting the engine bay painted is on his "to do list." By the looks of it, I would say that he spent his money in a better way than getting his engine bay painted.

Well at least they got the door jams and stuff.


Stop bitching guys, deep down you would trade this car for yours in a heart beat.

My only complaint is that the floor of your boy's garage is too damn clean!!

Where did he get the CF door panels?
I have been looking for some. The CF looks better than aluminum.

I could care less about CF this, mugen that, and unpainted this. Can you give some specs on your setup? Dyno numbers, e.t.s, etc? The setup looks clean.
