Message	A local body shop has decided to sponsor my car and are offering me a complete new paint job for free. I just have to pay for the extra stuff I want. Jun hood, new mouldings etc. I have chosen to paint my car R34 Blue but I am having a hard time. First off, I don't want to yank out my engine again because every time I do, its down for months :) I was thinking of painting everything but leaving the engine bay black. I have seen so many new cars doing that but its flat black opposed to gloss. The whole car will be stripped. Doors, hatch glass, windshield, mouldings etc.. will all be removed for the new color. What do you guys think about that color on my car and about the black engine bay? I guess I can also remove all the accessories around the engine and paint it flat black like the new cars or spray it the new color but I am scared it won't look good like that. What do you guys think? Don't forget that I do a lot of car shows and dont want to lose points on that. I know I will have to change my intercooler pipes along with some engine parts from blue to chrome because I don't want to be driving a rice mobile. I might even have to change my interior for the same reason.

Thanks guys! PS: Dyno and new pics coming shortly.
