I still love you engine cover Sooner, you gave me the inspiration to do mine, but I was too lazy to cut the holes and stuff so I just painted it black.

Recenter your beam. I think you need air tools though. Coolmax and I attempted to do it with hand tools and the bolts wouldn't budge.

hey skylowmax, i really like the look of your max. the wheels make it look very clean. keep it exactly the way it is. get rid of the front license plate bracket and you'll be set. other than that

EDit: do you have spacers on the rear?

finally got bored enough to paint my grill.

cleaned it off then applied 7 light layers of black followed by 3 layers of clear coat. took me about 5 hours.




now the grill matches the engine cover


all clean

that actually looks really good with the black door handles...if yours were chrome then it probably wouldn't look as smooth and fluid.
