The engine cover isn't painted actually, it's a vinyl wrap that is heat resistant. Should last a very long time. The transformer badging came with the car, it's a limited edition Transformers edition. Only 1500 made. They stopped making them in January , so if you didn't order one by then, you can't order it anymore. The only autobot things I added were the horn button, and the rront and back chevy logo autobots. The rest were factory. The price wasn't too bad, Just over $31,000.
