Watcha think....

I'm in the process of redoing my engine motif... im going from the all polished and chrome look w/red accents to a more subtle - high tech sophisticated look - with powdercoating and ceramic coating.... what do you think so far.... as you can see there will still be some "blingage" hahahah
