You car wasn't origonally VSM if your engine bay is white. Honda doesn't go out of the way to paint their engine bays another color than the body. They put the entire body in a both and paint it.

i think most cars are sprayed with a base/coat, clear/coat paint meaning its a 2 stage paint job...so since teh VSM color is kinda dull lookin in the bay, it just looks to me that they don't spray the bays with the clear coat to make it as shiny as the outside of the car..

Its VSM. Its just that its not painted as thoroughly and i dont think it has a clear coat so it looks to be a whitish color when its really VSM.
