do what they said but man your sig got to go. import eater, do you think you can eat every import out there? I know plenty of imports done up right and not rice running decent times. one for example runs high 12s on a N/A motor. respect ppls rides that run good and are built by them and not bought
lets also not forget ferrari's & lamborghinis are also imports.

I'd say paint it black. Then you won't notice oil and grease as much, if you ever leak anything.
yeah, right, then you won't be able to tell where a leak is coming from until it leaves puddles on the driveway or floor of the garage. light Ford blue is a good engine color and lets you see leaks due to the contrasting colors.
and you need to prep the engine compartment just like you would the outside of the car if you expect the paint to adhere properly to the surfaces and I would use a gloss finish paint that can be waxed so that grime can be cleaned off much easier than with a flat color.

my t-bird engine was light blue, heads and block... and it was gloss.... i could spot the smallest oil leak just from opening my hood.... and it looked pretty damn good.... dont matter if you think its going to match with red, once you open the hood and people see how clean it is they dont care about matching lol

yes import as they are imported into the states but ppl consider them to be exotics. being that blind just shows alot on how a person is. a 14 sec honda or whatever isnt all that bad. hell alot of drivers on this site do that with mods to their stangs
