Sorry I didnt post any pictures like you asked Vincent. My mechanic put it on before I had a chance to borrow a digi-cam. Im sure you understand. Some tips to help you if you are going to do the same: Make sure the surface is thoroughly prepaired. I put mine in a parts washer (i work at a BMW dealership). It uses a special chemical and hot hot water to blow away lots of debris, etc. BMW engines were covered in stuff called cosmoline (spelling?) which prevented it from rusting on the boatride over here. By now it will look yellow and flaky. You need to get this off. After putting it in the parts washer I sandblasted it lightly. I also scrubbed it lightly with a brillo pad (the nylon kind). Its important to make sure the surface is completely clean. I used wrinkle finish paint which turned out rather nicely. When I painted it though, it was really humid where i was at. It took the paint forever to cure. I kept it in my garage but should have kept it in my basement. If you should also use the wrinkle finish paint follow the directions CAREFULLY. I found my paint at my local Pep Boys. Take your time and do it carefully.. It should turn out really nicely. Good luck with it! If you have any more question just drop me a note.
