Sorry, to me, it just looks like pure rice under those hoods. The engine bay with orange caps, orange battery compartment lids, orange etc., orange etc., really, really something to behold (on someone else's whip, that is). Sorry, but that's my opinion.

How is color matching your peices under the hood to the color of your car rice?

I'm planning on getting the radiator support done too but do you think it's easy to remove? How about the cowl?

Anyone know where I can get something like the Zee caps but not spend over a hundred bucks for caps. Just trying to budget the money, also considering getting some spark plugs and other little things for tune up. Any recommendations on brand, and type of plugs.
