Default I need some opinions here...

Ok, what I'm wondering is if this is too much polishing? should i paint the head red?

Thanks.

^^ no, but there can be way to many to have to keep looking clean. I love polished stuff, (whole aluminum dirtbike frame lol) but i hate having to always clean after it gets wet and spots and the tiniest oil/dirt shows up. I would def keep that though. that looks awesome!!!

If you like it keep it, it'll be insane to keep clean but I rarely see a Honda polished that much.

Frankly if you are willing to keep it all clean I say rock that it's quite different and sharp

put some clear on it after polishing it. i say powder coat or paint the valve cover silver, someone had a thread with a d15b and it had a silver valve cover and looked really nice. too much polished stuff, chrome stuff looks blah in my opinon.
