did you paint it because yours was old or just to spice things up? looks good and i have a can of the dupli color black engine enamel,

how many coats? primer ect.. paint usually looks nice in the short run but then will need repainted in the long run.. i wish you the best and hope it lasts. looks amazing now tho

Looks nice. Noticed your GMPP filter appears to have some warpage -- is it getting hit by the hood? The filter is off-center so if you loosen it and rotate it about a quarter turn clockwise it will be lower in the box and won't get hit by the hood. just a suggestion....
