ya well i spent over four hours sanding it smooth, taking off these raised lines that come on the stock one and also some scuffs or chips then sprayed it with some ppg electron blue pearl paint and then a **** load of clear. Also recleared the spoon carbon kevlar spark plug wire cover.

When you switched from the B series to the K series, was there a huge difference in over all performance?

Good job on the swap

I'd sell the B to buy parts for the K.

The valve cover looks sick, but I have to recommend that you also put a couple coats of clear on the engine bay. The valve cover is more bling than the bay.
