Dropped off my car today to get my Plenums painted yellow and also my valve covers. Polishing my throttle bodies. Installing the carbon fiber LP570 mirrors and also the SL carbon fiber clear bonnet. Stay tuned
After spending 2 hours removing the old bonnet, hardware and motor then I started to transfer them to the carbon fiber clear bonnet. When that was done I removed the carbon fiber Sl wing and installed that also. Next step glue the glass ; ) I also decide that I will paint the throttle bodies flat black. Way to much work to polish them.
Ecu's are back! Now we just need the Lambo! Special thanks to Velos for the tune. Once's I get my car back I will let you guys know how it feels. Can't wait!
I thought about painting my plenums yellow also with black lettering at first, then I decided against it. I saw some examples and thought that it would be too busy (too much yellow). So instead, I just painted the lettering yellow. I thought it was a nice accent and it really "pops" out my manifolds!
Here are some pictures:
This is under regular garage lighting
This is with the engine hatched closed, you can see how it really "popped" the manifold through the clear bonnett
This is upclose shot with the carbon fiber engine bay pieces with the painted letterings

Andy your car looks great! I think the yellow would have looked great because your engine bay is dark. The yellow letters do look good but I think all yellow with black lettering would have popped even more. Ill show you mine when its all done.
I have my OEM engine hatch with clear bonnet to sale, PM me to work out a deal. You may want to ask around to see how much aftermarket will charge you first so you know my OEM price is so much better!
Quick update. Plenums were painted. Love it! Im thinking about painting the letters black but they look good like this also. Carbon fiber clear bonnet was put on the car but we still haven't glued in the glass. Car will look crazy when its all done. Cant wait!
Lol thanks John. Can't wait to see your Gallardo in person.
