It was only $5.95. Does anyone want some SE-I parts....theres a gold one at a yard I know, all door panels/headliner/etc is in mint condition. I'm probably gonna get the rear discs though.

bastage!! i need me a moon roof visor! especially for 6 bux

nice job on the painting too :thumbup:

[mushroom_toy]

If you lived closer...there wouldn't be a problem lol. plus...I actually am debating about whether or not to get the visor. Dont know if it will match my interior too good, as it is tan.

nice job at painting :thumbup: and thing that u got at the junk yard is it the cracked windsheld?

[Cheeseburger]

nice!

You should have took some paint stripper to that valve cover and then wet sanded it to get it perfect.

Looks good, your gearing up to a AOM my brother

[BITESIZE]

^^^Paint your trim first.

[mushroom_toy]

I would have stripped it and wet sanded, but I just sanded then laid 3 coats on for now. Time was a big concern for me when I was doing it. I had limited time. Possible redo in the future, but good enough for me now.

My Genuine Honda sunroof shield lol, not the windshield.


Oh everyone also replaced the foglight bulbs with some 100w ones, will get pics later today/tonight.

the valve cover look ok....would have looked better if you had taken your time to strip the paint and used some vht wrinkle black....make it look stock yo!

Did you use a whole tube of Silicone to seal the valve cover? I never used any on mine and it seals perfect. Looks pretty ghetto.

It looks like a bunch of smurfs gang raped your valve cover, cut off the access silicone. The visor looks nice though, i just got one for my car and i love it. Now all you need is the door visors.

[b20a86lude]

if ur trying to get the door visors i got them for sale

[TWOLOUDNPROUD]

since painted your valve cover it should be good for 10 more Hp:thumbup:

is that a huge crack in your window?

your valve cover looks very nice BTW :)

[mushroom_toy]

Ok evryone to address a few issues....I like painting it my way. I'm the only one who sees it everyday and thats why I painted it to my preference (esp. with the motor co. in black). Secondly yes I do have a huge crack in my windshield. Thirdly...is just looks better, not 10 hp lol, but a 10-20 point reduction in ugliness.

I like the extra assurance that I have that mine won't leak, and like messy said I'll cut the excess off after a couple days of it setting up.

[frantik]

i like the valve cover paint job with the texture :thumbup:
