Nice VC the color combo is original and your own thing, I respect that, but its not my own taste. Anyway sense we are on this topic I just finished my VC as well. I'll use this one just for tuning, then the jdm red guy gets to come out and cover up the goods after my dyno work.

good whole can of spray paint and lots of time...

at least get some NGK wires and a diff color oil cap. that red makes the scheme look dumb. The idea is cool.

The cut off lines between polished and blue are clean at least, but it's not my thing. I would rather see the entire thing one color with polished letters. It's just a cleaner look.

Or ALL polished.

Why would you shave the Vtev off of your motor?

Personally. I don't like it. Doesn't match anything else in the bay not mention I just don't like the look of it period. I swear when did the VC become the "must modify" part of every Honda? Personally I thing a sprayed/shaved/modified/chromed/powdered/tucked/flipped/cut/chromed/pimped Valve cover in a dirty *** bay looks retarded.


Edit: Just read what you wrote. So your car is "Skyline Blue" and your engine bay looks like that? YUCK!

might look hot now, but down the line, that exposed metal is going to oxidize and look like crap.
