[bullard123]

Looks good cah. What color is that valve cover?Looks like its bronze. I would get a black marker and color the H on the valve cover

[Whiter]

wow thanks for the cold air placement idea... stolen!

the color is cast iron
and i am thinking about doing the lines the and H in black :wave:

[knarg]

i think it would look better polished, but your engine IS looking ALOT better :thumbup:

oh and newb question, but are those 8mm nuts on the valve cover the only thing holding it on?

[labeledsk8r]

looks better cah, sand those letters and should look great.


wow thanks for the cold air placement idea... stolen!

cold air???? :huh:

[Civic Accord Honda]

yes there the only thing holding it on lol and i used a 10mm socket
and thanks for the comments :)

[Hazwan]

That valve cover looks great. Way better than the ricer blue lol.

[mushroom_toy]

Hey just to let you know that paint will not last on the intake....more than likely it will chip...almost to the point where it will get angry and chip even if you caress it.

EDIT: BUT You car is looking a lot better Blue ftl, Clean and not ricey engine bay ftmfw.

EDIT 2: Oh btw you need an exhaust manifold bolt. Middle top.

thanks
and yes i agree the ricer ford blue was lame lol

[SZfiftyfour]

Lookin good! Are the headlight surrounds still white? You really should go back to black on those. Kinda makes your car look like an albino. You know how their eyelashes are white so all you really see is eyeball.....creepy.
Good work though dude, its coming along nicely.

[Civic Accord Honda]

lol ya there still white for now i got some satin black paint to paint them black tho just did not have the time to do that today lol

[GraniteLXI]

Nice work, looks good. That old blue cover was not working, as everyone says it just had ford written all over it lol, and as forrest89sei said, make sure to sand off the paint so that Honda symbol can shine ^^

[Civic Accord Honda]

yeah i plan on sanding the letters and lines and getting a shiney mugen knock off oil cap lol

what can i say cah, other than it looks much better. Im glad to see you turn your car around, slowly but surely. I will say that you still need to fix your suspension though.
