I've never cared for the look of our stock engine covers with the Toyota logo and writing. I'm also not a fan of the carbon engine covers, at least not for the price.
So, I decided to pick up a spare cover and see if I could shave it clean. I think it came out pretty nice but I haven't decided what to do with it next. Any suggestions on what color scheme to use or add a Scion logo?

I've seen some people paint the hump a different color. I think you should do that and maybe write scion across it or something along those lines.

No wild color schemes for me. It would defintely be Flint Mica and black, would consider some silver accent or something like that.
I was thinking about picking up a ScionLife or Scikotics decal and using it as a template. Then painting the cover body color so that the logo will be a different color.
I also have a spare Scion logo from the front grill but it would only fit flush if I angled it on the bottom right corner.

Started with a dremel and drum sanding bits to take alot of it off. Then a handheld "mouse" sander and finished it by hand. Just sprayed a couple coats of Krylon Fusion to bring it back to stock color.
