Default What to do next to the engine bay?


Have the strut covers and the battery cover and the other piece installed just no current picture. Anything else to do?

Strut tower covers, strut tower brace, aluminum reservoirs/tanks, paint valve covers(don't see sixxers do this often), master battery/brake cylinder covers, hood struts

Have the strut tower covers and master battery/brake cylinder covers already on, if I just had a current picture.

Get those covers painted to match your air brushing. Hood struts, basically everything Baker said.

Which would look better.....flames or just doing body color on them to show off the flames and not overdo it?

I would just do body color. Just give a little something to bring them out. Let me know how it goes, I'm thinking about diving into that myself this winter...

What about getting them dipped in carbon fiber?

^if you're into that sort of thing go for it. It all depends on what the overall look your trying to achieve is going to be. I personally would paint to match IF anything. I'm not painting mine but I need a little black contrast to go with my painted valve covers/TB. Get some current pics of the bay up and i'll throw out better suggestions as I'm sure most members will too!

I would most likely just do body color. Wouldn't you think adding more flames would over do it?
