What color is your car? Not sure if it's my screen, but that color looks very interesting.

its a custom color, its a mix of gunmetal and bronze and some black i believe. it looks different in every picture ive taken of it. sometimes it looks gray and sometimes it looks more bronze

That's a pretty bad *** color. I like it a lot! Does it look any different outdoors?

Very sharp, nice stance too. Those torque thrust actually look good for an over used wheel, but the new wheel you mocked up looks way better.

Re: thought id share some engine detailing pics
first i took everything apart, sandblasted any pieces i could and then sanded down the engine compartment, i then painted it all satin black and after that i taped off what i wanted and sprayed the wheel wells, core support, hood hinges, and nose filler panel with a light coat of line-x premium. ive used it on several cars weve built and the look is really nice when sprayed a certain way. you have to almost dust it on with the gun instead of pointing directly and spraying, the texture comes out fine not like what your used to seeing with spray on bedliner coatings. the downside is you end up wasting alot of it.Heres a couple close up pics

He does'nt have the blower hooked up yet, he has a K&N on the Stealth Ram and the other is to protect the blower untill he hooks up all the tubing

Very impressive
Re: thought id share some engine detailing pics
I would imagine you can do the same with herculiner thats available at parts stores but i dont know how it holds up since ive never used it. I will be trying it out soon on the underside of a car we are building for a customer.
