I think that's pretty bad ass! I have a 75 chevy pickup rat-rod project I'm working on, and that is kinda the direction i want to go w/ my engine bay. Since rats are all about the motor, the whole truck is being done in primer black, black interior, chop-topped, rust on the frame, and dents in the body, and then I'm painting the block and heads stark white, maybe w/ a coat of pearl, w/ chrome headers, chrome valve covers w/ blue accents, polished intake and carb, stainless braided lines and hoses. That mirror hood idea would be a cool way to set it off!

 

that's neat. Chris on SC 9-5 forums had done this with his 9-5 a few years ago, and as you can imagine it was met with mixed reviews over there. :lol:

 

I think it's pretty interesting. Well done!

How did you accomplish it?

 

Not bad. I actually think that looks halfway decent.

 

moar pics, I likes...

nice bling!

 

that's like extra 30hp with the hood open?

 

You put an engine in your hood?

Dude that is sweet

 

Bad ass. How long did that take?

 

interesting... how did you secure that in there? i'd hate for you to hit a bump and have it all break into millions of pieces on your engine.

 

Not my style personally but you are definitely doing a good job going about the look you are going for. This is cool, especially considering some of the extirior touches on your car.



Looking at the distortion I don't think its actually a glass mirror.

 

I think it looks great. I'm thinking its not polished paint though, rather some sort of flexible mirror.

 

Screw any naysayers, looks amazing!

 

do you guys believe everything you read?

No, hence why we all asked if he was serious or not.

I've seen the stick on mirrors before, I would assume that to be the case, but you never know!

 

He never did say he polished the hood. He just said he made the hood to reflect the polished components in the engine compartment.

I know most of you on here don't care for the style of what i do to my car but i though i'd share one of my winter projects i did. The engine bay is in he process of being polished piece by piece, slowly but surely with the hood to reflect it.

 

It is not a foil, paint or glass mirrors

 

SOOO..... did you polish the hood?

 

There is no spoon...

 

I'm pretty sure i saw the spoon in the movie.

 

come to carlyle and you'll see

 

I dig it

 

a little more for under the hood

 

you shaved eco huh?

 

it's a t7 cover for my t5

 

so, you coming down to SiS? really love to see your car!
