    Polished Lip and Valve cover

    So I went to get a set of tire and discount tired royally screwed the powder coat on the front rim lip. So I decided to go ahead and remove the rest of the PC from all the other rims. I am also in the process of having my valve cover repainted so I stripped it and I am planning on painting it the same color as my car or just repainting it back to stock. SO here you go

    Thanks guys, I think the wheels look better that way also. As for the valve cover, I am going to have to PS some and see what I like.

    Dude it doesn't matter what you do to the valve cover. Your 3G has LS/VTEC! That wins right there.

    Of course I'm lazy. If I wanted to work on my car I'd have gotten a DSM

    Re: Polished Lip and Valve cover

    the lip looks pretty good, but if it happened to me, i would get mad at the retards that changed the tires. Wouldn't they realize after scatching the first rim, they should probably stop, and not scratch the others?


    anyway...

    RED!

    Actually they only messed up one rim, I did the rest. Honestly they will get whats coming to them in the long run.

    Ok like this except the color of my car. Then I would paint the cam gear cover part black and the spark plug wire cover black.
