Yep, in the beginning I started with a Touring model. I totalled it and then started with another red R1.

lol. I just figured out that you were refering to two different pictures. I was wondering why you were asking about it in the pic you posted.

Sorry if the response seemed a lil' flippant, but given the context...

People aren't Ghetto just because they can't justify painting something most people never see. Now, make sure the rear end is painted up really nice though, that's what MOST people will see!
I agree. It is better to paint the engine bay, but for the money if your car is black or even MB there I don't think it's that big of deal when looking at the cost and hassle.

I decided to forgo painting the engine bay because it is still expensive relatively and hard to do with the enginee removed. There is still all sorts of **** in there and I know as I'm transplanting from a VR into a MB all my parts (I when I say all, I'm only barely exagerrating - engine, drive train, seats, int panels ,bolt ons, etc).

They wanted like another $400 for the engine bay plus I didn't trust them to mess with the remaining parts there.
