Army Style Engine Theme - Roger That!

For the past few months I've been working on a 2.3L GT3076R build on my car. there's a whole thread on it in the Engine Section. I didn't want to just put it back in looking the same so I came up with something I thought was kinda cool. Flat olive drab on the valve cover and grey on the engine block and timing covers. Then top it off with some Army style stencil lettering. I just got the vinyl cut yesterday and think it looks hot.

A few pics of the process.

Looks good! You could go crazy with that theme and make it look unique yet good.

The car is white, and I would love to carry the theme over to the exterior. It may happen sometime down the road, but it's hard to justify paint when it doesn't make the car any faster. Stickers add at least 4 whp, ask CBRD

I'm not a fan of decals or anything like that, but I think with the theme you guys are going for a white/gray/black camo exterior would be saaaawweeeet!

up to you, but i would leave the white paint alone. no graphics, no paint scheme. just have the motor like that. you had it out of the car its going back in stronger and cooler looking. fresh look.
