Hey Lead...thanks for the comment! Taken exactly as you meant and I don't disagree at all. I recall Steve Rupp installed his Autorad core supprot and had it powdercaoted to mute and match. I really liked the look of it.

My design response is not exactly 'because racecar,' but more of a funtional underhood that blends black, aluminum and a touch of red. There are higher end cars that have done a great job of making the entire underhood flow and match and I was not chasing that.

I've quoted Indian Larry (RIP) in the past where he had said, "why cover it up? It's function is it's beauty." Hope that makes sense?

Also really appreciate your input

Oh and Skippah!
