Default I need some opinions here...

Ok, what I'm wondering is if this is too much polishing? should i paint the head red?

Thanks.

^^ no, but there can be way to many to have to keep looking clean. I love polished stuff, (whole aluminum dirtbike frame lol) but i hate having to always clean after it gets wet and spots and the tiniest oil/dirt shows up. I would def keep that though. that looks awesome!!!

If you like it keep it, it'll be insane to keep clean but I rarely see a Honda polished that much.

Frankly if you are willing to keep it all clean I say rock that it's quite different and sharp

I like that a lot. Looks different than an everday painted engine.

put some clear on it after polishing it. i say powder coat or paint the valve cover silver, someone had a thread with a d15b and it had a silver valve cover and looked really nice. too much polished stuff, chrome stuff looks blah in my opinon.

thanks for the compliments and my car isnt like evrybody elses it has a body kit and chrome mesh wheels it looks good tho its not blinged out lol. i am painting the letters red. and as for the header... its a 6.99 ebay header with a massive portmatch to line up and get rid of the drops/ walls in the tubes. they didnt take the time to line it up during manufacturing but hey it works better than the stocker.
