I think 944's look better without the side molding, my 2 cents.

I think the dark tint looks great with all the black rubber these cars have. Not a big fan of the wheels, but that wouldn't stop me from picking it up if I had the chance.

I think the side mouldings are essential on a red car. It's just TOO much red (red doesn't reflect as nicely as black, so it appears much more flat). Where as black reflects the surroundings, which adds depth to the paint and makes it look totally different.

I love the engine bay shots. Today's cars are too dressed up under the hood/bonnet, and some companies use their engine covers to give away misconstrued ideas of a car's nature. Take, for example, the '05 and related generation Hyundai Tiburon. I have no problem with this vehicle. Fine idea to make a V6 version too although, as a sports coupe` I would prefer Rear Wheel Drive. Well, pop the hood and imagine away! The engine cover gives the false shape of a motor that sits longitudinally rather than horizontally in the engine bay. This covers up the fact that the car is front wheel drive, but at the same time, it makes it easier for the company to simply slap a cover on it and call it pretty.

growing up around hot rods gave me a respect for intense engine detail. I love polished aluminum more than chrome. I could tell you that the shine and reflection are softer on aluminum and have more life than chrome. Also chrome almost looks too yellow or blue in certain light when compared to aluminum. I digress...

Just thought I'd post a novel about how I love your engine bay.

Good stuff! I especially like the wheels. /me points to sig pic


OT/threadjack, if anyone wants their engine bay to look like that, I have a set of all those engine pieces powdercoated in the crinkle black like that I'm trying to sell.
