Default Painted engine cover for SSV

Finished my engine cover. I decided to paint it blue and keep the V6 red.

Sorry the engine bay is dirty, it is due for a good detailing.

why not chop off the middle piece by the v6? I think it would look much better.

I did that on the 1st attempt and then the area by the V6 warped and sagged due to the temps in there... I have another idea tho that I might try but it would take the V6 totally out of it...

Lol, I got 4 so I could mess around w/ em... One is cut to fit my Crawford tho. I got one left to get my cut right before I cut my CF one.

Here is a pic of my 1st attempt that warped in the center.

Plus I screwed the paint / clear up on it.
