Thanks a lot guys!
Kabuki to answer your question, I did actually paint the bay while the motor was out. But I painted it black. When I had the car painted Sonic Blue, he didn't do my bay then either. It was already black and I kind of liked it. So I just did it black again, and I think it switches things up a little plus I think it's subtle enough to not hate it and think it looks like crap, but I could be wrong haha.
It's funny that someone mentioned mullets haha. Just a fun fact that yellow IROC also had a red and grey one in his driveway at the same time, neither ran nor looked good haha. I thought it was rather stereotypical if you ask me haha.
Bolt On 50, I am in Suffolk County actually. Montauk and Calverton are just real good places for pictures.
