Engine dress up. Is it too much?

[Deleted member 64400]

Just got this custom Grabber Blue pony for the engine bay. To me the blank space above the lettering needs something, and all the custom plates online don't match the color. Is it too much bling? I haven't put it on just yet.

I'm also considering having the plenum cover painted.

The word Mustang in blue looks awesome to me, I think adding the actual logo takes away from the engine though.

I received mine today. I like it very much but now need to do the Mustang lettering below it. It is very well made and the finishing was smooth and free of any blemishes. I used outdoor Gorilla tape to affix it to the cowling!

That looks cool I was going to do the letters to but didn't. Here's mine I got the Dark Horse rad cover off a guy on Facebook his son makes nice stuff. Just waiting for shock tower covers.

That radiator cover is unique, can you message me the info so I can get one?

Looks good. I haven't gotten around to putting mine in yet.

It's from a guy on Facebook his son makes stuff he does nice work. Look up Mike Savas on Face book he will hook you up. Fast delivery too.

I did something similar with the strut Tower covers and engine cover. I also did a few things for the trunk as a display if I go to a actual car show.

Still waiting to see this Baby flying around Friendswood!!!

Let's try this again. The pics didn't seem to work:

Today I installed the lettering to go with the Mustang logo. The first letter was a bit intimidating but was easier after that. I will say if you watch the video from Anchor Room and he says use water, make sure you use a lot, especially in the heat we are now experiencing. I waited till 8 p.m. and the water would sometimes start evaporating before I finished a letter. Thanks to AZ Ryan for inspiring me. On to the results:

Still no pics. I think something is wrong with the forum for a couple of days now.

The second time they showed fine when I did the preview. I will try again in a few days. Glenn
