New shroud finally painted...

These aren't the greatest and don't quite give you the idea of what it looks like... but here they are... He just needed to wet sand the clear coat and re-polish it...

I will post pictures of it installed tomorrow sometimes...






The shroud is painted silver like my truck and it looks like it is being ripped open and then you look down into it and see lightning bolts... Very 3D...

I think it will accent the rest of the engine nicely....

That looks good! It will definitely match up with the rest of your Lightning bolts, I bet it looks a lot better in person. I give it a !!!

I didn't ask him... He is a very talented man and I am sure it took a long time... I just dropped it off and let him keep it for 3 weeks... His wife is a CSI officer and I am a police officer, so he hooked me up nicely... The up close detail is amazing...

I just hope someday I have enough money to pay him to do some ghost flames or something on the exterior...

Here is an additional photo... you can see the detail better in here... For some reason the camera brightens up the area in the middle and makes it lookes smeared... It is much more subtle in real life...

Installed photos tomorrow...
