Has anyone painted their engine covers yet?! Think I'm going to do this in IOMG and maybe the engine brace in orange to match my leather!

I'm holding out for a CF engine cover. Not exactly the best use of money on cosmetics, but I feel like the engine bay is calling out for that.

I’ve thought about trying to dress up the engine bay but it’s just so unappealing, kinda like putting lipstick on a pig. So many hoses and wires…all functional for sure but it will take a lot to make it look good under there.

I feel like I'm OK with the "functional" look of the engine bay. Rather than hiding the entire thing under a plastic shroud (or worse, one with faux intake runners or something, like my ST) so you can't even tell there's an engine under there, we get to at least see a little of the magic. But that cover could feel a bit "cooler". I'm kind of arguing against myself, haha. It needs a little bit? But not to the point of sealing it all in, in my opinion. So a body color or a CF cover, mimicking the factory design, would spice it up nicely.

IND has painted engine covers for sale. I bet they’ll have cf engine covers down the line as well. I’m waiting to see what eventuri does under the hood.

Just got tracking info from IND for my painted engine cover and also noticed they updated the site and mine is now one of the sample colors. 😈

At that point, I think I'll have approximately 2% of my Mexico blue G80. Just waiting on the other 98% from Germany. 😂 Thanks IND! Can't wait to receive it. |

Should use the three square recesses as a starting point and paint the m stripes across the cover. Would break up the cover visually, and enhance the M aspect.

Damn, I saw the little pic on INDs, page, but that doesnt prepare you for the beauty. Damn. I wonder if Dravit Gray would come out, this well? I keep spending stupid money on this car. If I see pics done like this, in Dravit, im adding it to the cart. So, no one post a pic, please! Buying things for this car, is addicting.
Car is over $100K and I keep adding things to the list. I have another $20K on the list, and thats without one performance mod!! Its at the detailer for full PPF, and ceramic, right now. This thing is a money pit!!

Yep, I have almost $9k in parts sitting here waiting for the car and that doesn't even include an exhaust. All visual modifications, stupid CF prices! This Twilight Purple engine cover POPS! Going to add a nice splash of color under the hood for sure. I would be Dravit would turn out really nice as well. Should just do it…
