    are you going to paint the whole car that color? if so its gonna be a killer paint job. anything with a metal or gold flake paint job is awesome! green has got to be the BEST metal or gold flake paint

    :p

    If theyre chrome, try and find rubber gaskets, or sanding the lip on the underside of the covers or both. Should help them seal better.

    No, my son wants it Flat Black, good thing too. Not sure my body work is up to that kind of paint job. going to try the inside of the doors to match the dash, with black door panels. If I can find the right color of engine enamel, I"m "going green" on the engine and a few other parts under the hood.

    First time I have heard that, why the flex agent for an engine?
