    I want to paint my Engine Cover but don't want to do it all in one solid color. Did anyone do something creative and have pics that i might build off of? Thanks

    Best thing you can do with your engine cover is get rid of it.

    Ive seen flame jobs done on them...


    ...but I prefer to just have a painted supercharger, so I vote, Top Swap and Paint the M90 and forget about the cover

    But if you have to... I like the subtle accents like this one

    Why are you showing off your stock engine bay?
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    Not so much that i'm showing it off but I like doing stuff that I like. I like my grand prix and i like improving how it runs and looks, I just dont have money for a top swap.

    Might be more worthwhile to do something more people can see. Like painting rusty wheel/brake parts.

    Well for winter rims i have the 3 spoke polished aluminum wheels with the grey powder coating between the 3 spokes and I painted my brake calipers yellow with duplicolor brake caliper paint. Not much else to do outside.
