 Ill post up a few pics. I have repainted the engine bay flat black, because I wasnt happy with the silver I painted it. I also had my Heads drilled for the Steam Holes at Broughers in Pleasant Hills, and got back my Nightshaded Tail Lights from a buddy that was doing them for me.

EDIT: Also painted the Hood to match the car, and painted the Notchback Hatch & Wing too. Need to have a piece of glass cut for the Hatch before I can use it tho.

Paint looks grey, but in person its a true flat black. Looks better than the Silver I had painted it before IMO.
