i'll try to be there, if the Uncle Sam lets me, but yeah thats what i planned on doing, i was going to paint the hood the same color as the insert, the insert is a semi gloss black, it's just that photo shop makes it look more blake then really is, and also the photo has shading, water and dert on it and so on, i did that photo shop in my windows paint thingy, so it kinda sucked. also the cladding is getting painted semi-gloss or flat black aswell. just taking things slow with the small amount of cash i already get from Uncle Sam.
If anybody could pull it off you could. I have been debating polishing my insert or painting to match the body. Either way I am taking that thing off to modify it somehow.
