color matching, what do you think?

adding some blue under the hood. The picture was taken at night and the flash made it look a little more glossy, but still looks good.

So let me know what you think, like it? If i stick with the blue color (to match the cobb couplers) I am thinking about painting the sway bar, and a couple more of the black plastic pieces.

also thinking of painting the big black tray thing.

so looking for some honest opinions.



and just another cool looking shot

It may just be the pic, but th "turbo" badge looks pretty jank.

Otherwise, not bad. Looks good, and if you like it, well, that's all that matters.

Not sure what hank means, but it is actually pretty good. The corner on the b and top pert of the o has the slightest red spot.

I will take a closer pic.

Looks pretty good, any plans to do the calipers (if you haven't already) that would look really sick with that blue.

I am personally gonna try to match the red from the calipers for stuff in the engine bay.

I was going to do all red as well, but Cobb uses their blue on everything.

I am going to do the calibers, but want to find brembo stickers first.

Thanks for the compliments.

Doing the dipstick right now, think I should do the big tray?

so i got the main black tray off and clean, last chance should i paint it? would it be to much? all the blue is towards the back right now so i think it would even it out, but don't want to over due it.

the more stuff you paint a different color the more ricey it gets

imo it's overwhelming as it is...paint the rad shroud would be a terrible idea

again this is just my opinion so you do you

Cool thanks for the honest opinions guys. I decided again the shroud, but did paint the dipstick. Was actually just looking for blue houses, anyone know where to find them?

yeah in the long run if you ever wanna go back to more stock black look you can without the hassle of repainting it..cause over time you get bored with a look .i did and have changed color schemes and what not and now im just going back to basic gloss black and mitsu red..and now thinking polished and black on my evo 8..
