I finally got the brackets and mounts done by a guy who knows what he is doing, and using real automotive paint, not spray paint and clear coated.

I had the heat shield plastic blasted and ready to paint. There is a debate on what color I should paint it. The engine mounts are the color of the car and the underside of the hood will be black as well as the firewall and inside engine walls. What color should I paint the HS? Red, Black or Metallic Gray with Red lettering? The hood liner is going to be painted black with the Pontiac simple on it in Red.

I may be rambling, but want the best look for my car.

Next few things I am getting are clear corners and just debadged it. Tires will be the first thing in the spring as I will be saving up and then not having to change the rims for the winter.

I would just color the cober or leave it off..

Going Black on the firewall is alot of work for something look cant see until you open the hood.

Personally I think Black Engine Cover with Red Letters, paint the fuse box black too it looks to dull .

I forgot to mention that, the fuse box will be painted black. I had that all screwed up. he plastic blasted that as well.

The other thing is the Battery plate. It is all rusted out. I will get a pic later today. I am either thinking of a chrome box or atleast a chrome plate for the battery to sit on. What would be cool?
