You have to bend the negative battery cable DOWN 90 degrees to clear the edge of the cover. You don't want it to abrade through!

Lookin' good!

Max (maxichon) is a perfectionist and insisted he make a new air intake tube cover to fit my MB engine box. Here it is, thanks Max.

I really give all the credit to Max. Without his tenacity on getting things just right it wouldn't look as nice. He's making a radiator cover for me now, and once that's complete I'm done with the bay. I think .

FP,
I was just thinking about the Ferrari's with the glass window in the hood.
I think you need to customize your hood with glass to show the bling when it is closed.

Thanks for the compliment. I used DupliColor high heat paint and applied it with a model paint brush. It's been on for two years and 32,000 miles and is still holding up nicely. Give it a try, it's not too hard to do.
