    Wow, great job on painting the bumpers.................I thought you maybe scuffed them and spray'd clear over them to give the brushed aluminum look........................they do look nice..................and $6 vs $300 makes
    it kind of no brainer.....................IMHO

    Looks great. What did you do to the hood? looks like you made it into a cowl hood.

    That is nearly the exact color scheme I'm doing mine. Now you've got me thinking about shooting it myself again. Looks great.

    Yes it's a 2in cowl hood I custom made back in high school a couple years ago. I think my thread of how I made it is still on here somewhere. I know I'm the only who has done it. Kind of my take on cobra r hood

    Always liked the flat black...gives all vehicles a kinda mean look to them. looks very sharp though. Great job!
