Default * * * Honda-Tech's Valve Cover Build Off MONTH #3 * * *

The deadline for this build off is January 28th and the vote will be held on the 29th.

The prize will be a K-Series.com T-Shirt (L-XXL). I will be participating and by some off chance I win, the runner up will get the shirt.



RULES:
You must have pics of you doing the valve cover, not shipping it off to get powder coated.
Post pictures of the process of you tricking out your valve cover.
Stripping a stock cover and spray painting wrinkle red or black will not help you win.

This contest is all about originality and imagination. Make something crazy, funny weird or super clean, but make it something no one's ever seen before.

Good luck everyone!

Steve

Did YOU powder coat it or did you send it out...there's a difference.

no sent it out

pffft if I dont make one for this month, I will post mine in the 'post your VC thread' and maybe enter one in a later month

I'm in for creativity! I had a pretty nice idea but I couldnt make it happen for any less than $400 and I thought that was too extreme.

Maybe I can convince someone at work to let me have some time on our CNC machine
