You don't have to play checkers, you can always resort to chess.

Re: Do you dig this engine bay??

Ri-damn-diculous. Someone should take the hot side of that turbo off and club the owner in the head with it. Yes it's unique. But it's also butt ugly.

Re: Do you dig this engine bay??

I like the internals, but the checkered theme is garbage. If they had done a solid color that had good contrast with the car color, it would have been real nice. Wasted tuck job.

Re: Do you dig this engine bay??

I Think it's self deprecating. It's a clean *** engine bay, but then the checkers make it really busy looking. kinda defeats the purpose. It's back to being as clutted to the eyes as with all the other things in there.

Re: Do you dig this engine bay??

i kinda think this belongs in the ricer thread.... clean *** engine bay, and very nice touches with the turbo, and the black vc, but th echeckers are just waaaaay overdone, its like saying the motor has hit its finish line

Re: Do you dig this engine bay??

i like it . havent seen that before. i think that people dont like it just because it's not "jdm" who really cares what the engine bay looks like anyways? its a sweet turbo integra with a jdm front end.

Re: Do you dig this engine bay??

way too busy in there now. should have gone with a solid color..black or matched to body color. very nice tuck and shave/fill job done to be able to paint it like that, but all that effort was wasted on that tacky paint job....

I can't tell from the pic but if the darker squares match the car then I would dig it in person but just because it is clean custom work . Not my taste!!

Re: Do you dig this engine bay??

very clean , lovin the turbo, exterior wise like whats been done with it... now for the bad part.. this reminds me of those kids that used to be rice so they throw on some jdm to be cool and people stop makin fun of them ... but then they still have a taste for anything that will make their car look ridiculous and generally laughable
