B---h! it's all about the rising sun! :lol:

i'm sure that would look awesome if he had more white/red in the engine bay, but i do like the idea of having actual art on the valve cover

filthy bay :( .

Paint really won't last. Powder is the only way to go. ESP' with his heat sheild off, it will peel quickly.
