Finished...What Does Everyone Think?

I finally finished painting/detailing under the hood. Just wondered what everyone's opinions and suggestions are. Here is a pic of the "finished" product, which in reality probably isn't really near being done. Later all!

you should remove the thing whit the K-n sticker. turn the rubber hose linking that to the
box upside down. and tie it up with a tie-wrap. that result in a some sort of a cold air intake.

thats what i've done, you can see it if you look closely:

DAMN GUYS! do you think you could have put just a little BIGGER imageS in there!

in the future try to keep them down to about 600 pixels wide....not only can people see them just fine...it doesn't take so long to download them. Not everyone in the world is hooked up through a DSL line.

I tried to polish them, however, it didn't work very good. So i went to K-Mart and bought some crayola paint brushes for $2 and a can of silver paint. That fixed that!

P.S. sorry about the big picture to whoever cares

I'd say it took me a total of about 12-15 hours. This was over about a two week period though....
