Meh, to each his own. Picture may not reflect, but the color does match (the engine bay seems to be a more faded orange than the exterior of the car--dunno why. My paint matches the exterior). This is going to be my daughter's car (I've got quite a few other cars), and I'm just toying with ideas of visual modifications to get it ready for her. Things she and I like, will be done more "permanently" in the future. This paint job was just a "dry run" to see how it will look, and she loves it. So, it gets added to the "do it right" list for later down the road.

Ricer...that's cute.

I like the thought and the initiative, but IMO doesn't quite make it.

The orange Nissan badge isn't good at all though. Sort of ricey and cheap.

Hard to beat a stock clean DE/HR engine bay.
Why "no" on the Nissan badge? Curious as to your view on this, as I was actually thinking about doing the "V6 3.5" in orange as well once I do the final project...

Do whatever looks good to YOU and your daughter. Some people have an inflated sense of self-importance and that of the car.

I like where the rubber spill guard by the oil filler cap and FPR are also partially color matched.

Idk bro, just looks cheap.

Looks like they did a really good job with the paint matching. Looks good, well done. BTW are you in Miami? Name of the shop? Thanks.

That orange looks aweswome!!

Rear tires flipped and the lifetime alignment from Firestone. Can't beat that for the discount I received-no brainer. They also have an Inground lift at the Greer shop. Guys were very cool and let me check out the underbody while it was on lift and let me stay in shop entire time while he adjusted things.
