what gets me is when the ugly wrinkled rocker panel pinch weld is painted all glitzy and glam.  ::) the marketing people at Chrysler were responsible for the pinchweld to be blacked out just like behind the grill needs to be blacked out. It just makes any car look better. but then I even have my door jams and inner trunk satin black :yesnod:

To each his own, but the only mopar that I would ever own with a black engine compartment is a black car. It's just that a black engine compartment in a mopar is wrong in every sense of the word. Ford, yes...Chevy...yes, Mopar...No. Right now I have 12 mopars and the only one with a black engine compartment is my black 69 Charger. If you can't afford to make it right or if you just don't have the ability to make it right then I guess you'll just have to live with it.  :icon_smile_big:

Oh....by the way...........another vote here for body color mopar engine bays.

Well, my Barracuda has a black engine bay from one of the previous owners. I don't have the time to mess with it until the Chargers are done so it's going to stay black for the forseeable future. I leave the hood closed at shows so I don't have to listen to people telling me how incorrect it is. I just look at them and laugh because if that's the only thing they noticed as incorrect then they aren't very observant. ;) The rest of the engine compartment is pretty ratty any way but I can drive it anywhere which is a lot more than some of the people with the correctly painted engine bays can say. I'd rather drive it than work on it any time.

Well wow!  That is something that was correctly done with my car...the engine bay matches the color of the car.   :yesnod:

lol

Even if it did not...I would not care.  It is not original..nor is it going to be close to it...not for sale any time soon and it is mine.  :) 
I love my 1970 Dodge Charger R/T Clone
