Added some color under the hood and behind the wheels

Thanks to River City (Lupe) for the custom painted engine cover. Also, thanks to Sledgehammer and his diy video that gave me the confidence to safely put the car on jack stands. I used the G2 paint kit to do the calipers. My color theme for the car is blue, silver and black. So any time I change something I use one of those three colors.

Nicely done. Love the calipers.

Did you dark tinted side reflectors?

Yes, I tinted all the reflectors and the rear brake lenses too using the kits available from Big Worm Graphix. Here is a photo of the rear to show the rest of the tinting.

That looks great! Everything is well done & complementary to the car.

I agree with SkipNWis, the coolant tank now need paint. He told me the some thing & he is right. I have to figure that one out & decide what paint type will work & not peel.

Maybe some VHT Nite Shade tint for the reservoir to darken it but still be able to see levels.

I like the tinted lens. I was thinking about this for my HBM. I'm pretty sure now

Did you tint the Headlamps too?

No, I was a little leary to darken the headlamps. However FWIIW the rear lenses still show plenty of light through so the headlamps would probably be OK too.
