Default Engine bay... FINAL.Touch, Custom Fuse cover

I believe my engine is now complete, made a custom fuse panel (under the hood) and believe it is now DONE.... What do you think ?, just be honest, if it looks gaudy, or Great... Just let me know.... Thanks again guys... Mjclemm

I love the color because it's unlike any other. The black widow is stunning. I was hoping you would paint the side strut tower braces the same red. I don't really like the American flags because they don't seem to match too well. (Don't get me wrong, I love America haha ) Do the "No Fear" decals have any significance, or are they just for looks? Still really clean though!

Btw, how did you paint the alternator?

Yes, with a red hour glass on THIER underside, BUT, the color of this spider looks better than a black one, that's why I went with it.. Great observation though...lol... Keen eye.....

Thanks... The Alternator was a pain... I took the casting and wrapped tape around the winding only, then prepped it, painted it aluminum silver, buffed it a bit, then the Red candy.. After that, clear coat.....
The "No fear" decals came with my Taz decals, but didn't like the way they looked with the "No fear" on top of Taz (the Taz's are on the lower panel right in front of the rear tires) the Side strut braces WILL be the same red, just didn't have them done when I took the pics, ill have to take more pics and post them .. (Some of the strut braces are still silver, where it says "No fear" along with the flags, the rest is Candy Red) as for the American Flags... Well.... ... Just seemed right....lol.. Thanks again.... Mjclemm

With no other carbon fiber underhood it looks out of place. Maybe paint the spider black (black widow) to help blend it in?

Edit: And paint the oil filler tube!
