Pics of my FD being painted
Had to have my custom vented hood modified to get it to close , since the addition of the Gotham oil pan brace AND the XS cast oil pan caused the motor to rise about 3/4"
The hood is in primer , by the way.

I'm hoping it'll be a lot less noticable after it is painted black. The colour is an original MAZDA Sikkens pearl black . That is the first base coat , it will get four to five more coats and the same number of coats in clear.

Nope , I did .......... Not a fan of the shiny grill , bling bling look .
Its a GT4508R ............... That is easier said than done , even if I loose this hood , anyother wouldn't be able to close without modifications.

That's a bargain! All that really matters is that you're happy. I know that you spent a great deal of your budget where it counts-under the hood. I'm envious of your build.
