yes, but there is such a thing as going too far.  It just doesnt look tasteful.  I think mine turned out pretty good, and I'm sure it was at least a hundred bux cheaper

I like it.  The mechanics look good to me.  Not the best color but I love the hood scoop.

it's not the color that's so bad honestly, but that engine bay has a lot going on at once. :/

THAT color just doesnt belong on a bird, NO MATTER WHAT ITS FOR.  I can deal with the engine bay, if it was mine, it would have all that fuel stuff redone.  The rest of it isnt bad.  I just dont know what goes through peoples heads when they paint stuff that color

When you look at an engine, you're supposed to say, "Wow!!", not "Whoa!!" It looks like he did a nice job, it's just too busy. Also, color is subjective and I have never been a fan of bright colors like that. I do like the hood. I'd like to see the back side to see how he used the factory scoops in it.

I do really like the hood.  I do like my original hood too though, but I think that car would be badass if it was a dark blue or red or something

looks like a motor plate to me.  It probably has another one sandwiched between the block and the trans too.
