Well, I've been wanting to do this for awhile and I finally did it! It was not easy as getting all of the armor all residue off is not an easy task, just when you think your done and you start to paint...FISH EYES!! must have painted and sanded 4 times to get rid of it all! I'm happy with the results though. Its just too bad it only shows when the hood is up

Oh yeah, FYI if you ever need the VW emblem for the engine cover, the dealer says it only comes with the cover for like $190 so be careful when you take it off!
