You have to bend the negative battery cable DOWN 90 degrees to clear the edge of the cover. You don't want it to abrade through!

Lookin' good!
Actually took care of that right after I took the pics.

Thanks again........

Max (maxichon) is a perfectionist and insisted he make a new air intake tube cover to fit my MB engine box. Here it is, thanks Max.

I really give all the credit to Max. Without his tenacity on getting things just right it wouldn't look as nice. He's making a radiator cover for me now, and once that's complete I'm done with the bay. I think .

FP,
I was just thinking about the Ferrari's with the glass window in the hood.
I think you need to customize your hood with glass to show the bling when it is closed.

Thanks for the compliment. I used DupliColor high heat paint and applied it with a model paint brush. It's been on for two years and 32,000 miles and is still holding up nicely. Give it a try, it's not too hard to do.
