Sometimes that's best. I have been thinking silver and red for my engine. Dunno how that would look. But the whole truck theme is red black and silver.

i made it, ive been messing with diamond plate a lot recently on my truck, seat brackets and a switch panel to replace my ash try, and i did that rad cap a few weeks ago. i think its 34" x 3" but i bent a 1/2" crease all the way down, drilled two 1/8" holes where there were slits in the top rad fin and put 2 little self tappers in it, not sure if all the rads are like that but the little slits were just enough to get screws into without damaging anything. i also slid the other end under my shroud because it was sagging really bad.
