Yes it is GO LAKERS, J/K in person it doesnt look bad at all, but If i was going to go with the purple, I would go extreme, I would get My valve cover powdercoated purple, and a bunch of other things, but being the bland person I am , I would have done black, becuase I am a coward for being different.
i'm using the gloss silver from hose techiniques on my yellow MSP. Then accenting with polished alluminum on the intercooler pipes, catch can, etc. Simplicity is key. And just wait until you see my bay. My engine bay's are allways clean enough to eat off of.
my first choice was to try and find a green -- i think the right shade of green would go good with yellow -- but all i could find was a lime (neon) green --
so i tried purple -- but i think i want to try another color and Yes if i have to i'll try a traditional color
