New engine bay pics

Well, just finished repainting my airbox, lid, and hood struts.

I made a stencil that says "3.8L V6" and was gonna paint that onto the top of the lid in the blue color from the airbox... but I ran outta blue paint [img]graemlins/crybaby.gif[/img] and I'm too lazy to run to the store to pick up some more right now... so I guess I'll do that later this week :D Also plan on ordering some blue wire loom soon.

BWT, all those loose wires running around the engine bay are wires from my underbody neons. I plan on covering those up as soon as I order the wire loom! They're fine for now, I have em temporarily zip-tied out of harm's way :D :D

Why not? heh. I dunno... I've seen black on pewter, and that's just boring IMHO. I've seen orange, and that's a little too exotic for my taste. Blue was the only other color I thought would actually look decent on pewter. I've seen one or two other people who did blue on pewter also, looks good I think. Some people don't like it, some do, just a matter of taste I guess.

did you have to do anything to the plastic to prime it?? Wet sand it or anything? or did you just clean it really good??

Well, I sanded that a bit, and then washed it off good. I didn't sand my inside though, as I wanted it to keep the texture. And yeah, I used Krylon gray primer.

Actually, it could be neon or neons as plural. When you say "I have some neon tubes", you exclude the "s". But if you take out the word tube, you say "I have some neons". If you take out the "s" in that sentence, it doesn't work. In my case, "I have underbody neons", it's the same thing. In order for me to take out the "s" in underbody neons, I'd need another word, such as "underbody neon tubes" or "underbody neon lights". So neon basically has two plural forms.
