well, over the span of this winter, i tore down my ITR and am basically completely re-doing the exterior with all new bumpers, lights, and paint just to get a new fresh and clean OEM exterior. since parts were kinda hard to find in the condition i want, i went ahead and did quite a few side projects just cleaning stuff up and decided i wanted a new valve cover...here it is from start to finish.

oh, and look at my sig for the parts and help me out and try not to rape me with shipping

anyways, here we go!

started out as a JDM chipped up and dirty black B16 valve cover until i got at it with a few coats of aircraft stipper


then about 6-7 coats of primer, wet sanding, and baking in the oven


now the finished product after paint and clear and a new OEM JDM ITR oil cap






just for kicks, the pile as it sits now from the rear with new tail lights


and my little helper

 

WHAT COLOR IS THAT

 

looks really

 

i like the oem ITR red valve covers better...

But i do like the black ITR wing on the white

 

Nice work

yeah, i love the red and i have one of those too, but i kinda like this new look

the car will have a fresh coat of CW so the wing wont be black much longer

its actually dark shadow grey. the OEM Ford color. i got the idea since my dad has an 05 DSG F-250 and my mom has a DSG 03 Expedition

i had to have something match

 

Good plan, I will be doing the same thing one day. Daily driving takes a toll on your car.
