You should get some yellow on your engine cover too.. I think that would look good.

The checkered duct tape looks okay on the headlight assemblies. No on the strut bars. And I'm glad you're taking the eagle wings off. Looked like too many different themes going at the same time.

In all honesty, to avoid a mix and match thing going on under your hood. I think you should try to come up with a master plan of what you want your engine bay to look like. And go from there. Your car is yellow, and you have a blue/black engine cover. If you're going with a yellow and blue theme, go with it. Like Mel did with his white and orange theme.

As cool as the checkered tape is (and it is), having too many different things going on under the hood will make the whole thing look bad.

Creative, definitely spices up the headlights with that tape.

I agree with Taz, though it looks like you might just be playing around figuring out what theme looks best.

Nice mod, especially for Duct Tape!
So why are you hanging your license plate so low?
I plan to install a little "hide a plate" rig and install the filler piece. Currently, I have the plate hung where it belongs and has a blue tinted cover (to help it blend in with my Monte a little).
