Painted Engine Frame Located Over Radiator
I know I've seen a few pictures of people who has painted this particular part but I couldn't find it when I was doing a search. So does anyone have pictures & information on how much it would be to paint this piece as well as those caps/plugs surrounding it? Also, how hard is it to remove if I decide to send it out to get professionally painted? I just think it's ugly looking. Thinking of painting it to match my car or have it gloss black like what I did to my engine cover.
Thanks!
Thanks!

kakaka...you can't beat me on that bro. Already talk about it with body shop. Will have it done in 2 weeks. They will need to take off the radiotor in order to paint that piece. WHile you are at it, replace the koyo radiator too. hehe

Cool man. Are you painting it at the same shop that did you bodykit? Reason why I was thinking of painting this is since I'm going to be painting my bodykit, wing, & hood, I might as well paint all the little stuff that's annoying me. This being one of them & the base of the side mirrors. I'm going to focus on my engine mods after so that's why I figured I might as well do it in one shot instead of doing it later. I'll probably add the Koyo when I get my APS TT kit which won't be for a while since I really don't want to do it unless they get a CARB#. Let me know how it goes & how much they are charging you. Hmm? Maybe I can get a deal since I'm getting all these parts painted .

Yes, i will have it paint and install at the same shop that paint for my body kit. BTW, are you going to get that GTC hood? pricing ok but somehow i just feel we are the testing people for that new product. hehehe

Yeah. They told me they have a few in stock already and I'll get in a couple of weeks (2 weeks). That's fine with me. I don't mind waiting. My freaking Vertex isn't even here yet & I've been waiting since the end of March .

It is!!!
He better start it every so often cause that's horrible for the engine to sit around like that. I hope he changes his oil before he drives it again cause I'm not sure how good it will still be sitting around for that long. But way to go on taking advantage of his error. Hahaha.

Not exactly the one I saw before but I ran into this one while searching the web. I'll keep looking for better pics since I think these color scheme is way too red. But then again, it may look good in person.

I'm thinking of painting it Gloss Black. I know it's black now but I want it nice & shiny. Same goes for the engine, fluid & battery cover base, & the actual fluid & battery covers themselves. I'd like to paint the portion of the wipers as well like what you did but Gloss Black. I'm going for the stealth look in the engine bay. Nothing but Gloss Black, Polish, & Silverstone to match the car. Also going to get some samco hoses, python locks, & stainless bolts when I start my engine project.
