Hey guys,
I thought it would be cool to get some before/after or progress pictures of everyones' engine bay.
Right now I'm in the 'before' stage. I've decided to completely reorganize and design what's under my hood. I built this car in highschool with the help of many friends and it's an ingrained part of who I am now. It's been messed up a bunch of times and I've had HORRIBLE luck with e30s, but that's what bonds us. There's just something inherently human with a car that makes mistakes and breaks all the time. Anywho, I'm confident when I say that i'll never sell the thing. And I wanna have some fun, so I'm thinking of painting the inside of the engine bay in matte black or even textured bed liner. That'll match pretty much whatever I plan to paint the outside, it'll be very tough, hide imperfections, and look unique. I've stuck with genuine OE BMW for too long. Now I need to try something else. Matte black with lime green accents has been calling me :)
So post up any pics of inspiration, advice, or ideas!
Positive things I've already done:
- A/C Removal
- Cruise control removal
- Windshield washer removal
Here's what I need to do:
- Remove remote start
- Relocate alarm horn
- Remove HID fogs (ballasts and everything) and install covers.
- Somehow hide my other ballasts.
- Shave useless brackets
- Remove drivers side high beam
- Paint engine bay
- Paint valve cover and various metal pieces.
- Paint satin black all the faded plastic pieces
