    i hope you applied some spark plug grease on the spark plugs.
    those wires are a bitch to remove if you don't have the grease.
    when i had my first set, i didn't put grease and i riped the wire off.

    nice!
    what kind of paint did you use on your valve cover?
    In any case I like your setup!

    lanman024 your a thread whore! lol. anyway, i'd like to get some fat wires like them cranes there. i'll check the link alex posted. i'm wanting to paint my aluminium valve cover i got a while back. i finally found a guy who will blast the paint an corrosion off. i think his blaster is a real sand blaster, it uses glass particals. anyway, i need to get on that soon. i may have my valve cover done with powder coat paint. if i dont, what kind of paint did you use on your cover? looks really nice.
    Keep it HONDA. Or at least Asian.™

    they are def a good quality set of wires but they are short. Well at least they'll never touch the manifold.

    I used some red high temp paint for the valve cover, it was sand blasted, primes, sanded, sprayed twice, then clear coat applied and backed in my oven for a bit and dropped back on. I do with the wires were a lil longer but these are some of the only red ones i could find and i got them for $30 shipped form a 3geez member so i wasnt complaing, on top of that i feel that extra 100 HP they give me! LOL
