The red is a bit much in my opinion. Looked a lot better with just the black.

Well the wind deflector and fuse box cover is going back to black.
It looks much better in person.
Its a MUCH darker red, almost maroon color.
The sun makes it look brighter and more of a pink color.

I hated it solid black, I wanted a dark contrasting color to go against the black.
And it looks great in person.

But I might look into a duller color.

x2 on the hood, paint the underside black, and paint the deflector & fuse box cover black, then the little red accents will look good.

i dont like it much but to each his own.
its not all that bad, but what makes it worse is the underside of the hood.
and get a header to dress that up some more, the rusty old manifold is killing it.

I think you should never paint the radiator cover, overflow reservior, or fuse block cover. they would always be left stock, or true covers made. Painting those pieces always turns to crap. Paint cracks etc....
