Default My new and Improved Valve cover...Enjoy

I was bored with the way my valve cover looked, so I decided to give it a make over. At first I wanted to spray it camo, but I decided to do it checkered. Im happy with the way it turned out, but it was a pain in the *** and very tedious. Mabye in a month or so I will bust out the camo valve cover.

Here's the old one:

BOOORINNNG...ZZZZZZZZZ

After some HondaBrite to clean it up:

Here's the white coat:


And the black one:

should have made the squares bigger and do the whole thing at an angle. it's way too symetrical now. how does it look with a black spark plug cover? very trippy though.

I was thinking the same thing, but it was too late when I thought about it. It looks good with the black sparck plug cover, but I was just getting a feel for how the whole thing would look checkered. Its cool for now, maybe I'll make it look better when I feel like cutting little squares again.

I like it!

But yeah, a solid color spark plug cover would probably look better.

At first glance...it made me dizzy
