That's not a bad idea man. I think it'd look sick. What's wrong with having your stuff look as well as it performs? 8)

ya i was thinking about cromeing it out, then i was gonna get the valve cover cherry swirl red pearl, and then get out my recipro saw and cut a rectangle in the hood so everyone could see it.
