Um....why? Your hood made of glass?

LOL...nope just looked plain under there. Just a preference.

Question...could one paint their brake calipers with that stuff? Like the red Brembos, etc.

Yeah, I don't see the purpose of it at all.

Because it is his car and he likes it and thought he would share with others who may like it. And when he opens the hood to show his friends - BAM! a hint of colour.

I think it would look great colour matched to the colour of the car in the case of the red or the blue colors etc.

Who opens the hood of their car to show them the engine of said car unless it's maybe a super classic hot rod.

It's the first thing we ask to see, in my family and circle of friends, when someone shows us their new ride.
We like to see the plumbing before we take a ride!

And again - it's his car and if that's what puts a smile on his face, then that's his call to make.

There is calliper specific paint that is for that application

You obviously don’t own the G70 or you’d be popping the hood every time someone wants to see the car.

I don't. There's nothing to see under there.

That's were the beef is! Not important if you are a vegan. To each their own.

Ahh, many gearheads do. Some of us like to look at what makes it go. Some appreciate the engineering that goes into a power plant. Obviously, he did not do it to please you, but it pleases him.

I have a can of blue paint left over when I did a touch up on one of my cars. I may do the same as it is a close match to my present car. .

Exactly......thx

Why did Genesis bother to put logos there, like the prominent "Turbo" lettering in a contrasting color? Why did they bother to introduce some design elements into the engine cover?

True, some people will never look under the hood. But others will. When I test drive cars, I always have them pop the hood so I can see the power plant. Partly, that's practical, to see where the oil filler windshield washer reservoir, etc. are and whether they're accessible. But I also like to see a neat and attractive layout.

This actually makes me realize I have yet to open my hood since I bought the car! I think I will do that tonight just to take a look. I am more than half way to my first oil change so I guess I should check the oil...

Ditto. I should at least check where I'm going to have to add windshield fluid.

Definitely worth popping it, if for no other reason than to enjoy how light the aluminum hood is!

 

[Stephen5242]

To some of us this is car porn.

I just like opening the hood to show off the tiny little turbos. They're cute and fun!
