<FONT SIZE="4">My valve cover had seen better days. In fact, it was worn to the point where it looked like a Mcdonalds red and had completely lost it's wonderful crinkle-red texture. The paint was even coming off in places.

BEFORE:



Luckily, my Honda hero swung me an awesome deal on a BRAND NEW cover It came in a nice Honda box, the cleanest valve cover I've ever layed eyes on.









I brought it outside and took some more shots (just cause it was SOoooo nice)







Unfortunately, while removing the old one I broke off a stud. Sooo, back to Honda and (had to ORDER) a new one. I figured I may as well buy the new acorn nuts too, since the ones I had were totally



All done! (Never will it be this clean again!)



Now, inspired I purchased 2 new oem Acura emblems (since I am not going jdm conversion) from a great seller here on H-T - wildcarditr102.





My current emblems were both fake since the original ones were stolen before I bought the caR. Look at the difference!









The Photoshoot

Now for the short photoshoot in lovely Victoria. This is a 15 minute drive from my house






















































And of course, heR at the track!

car looks amazing man
the window visors are a lil different than what i've seen before. i usually see them "bubble" out more, yours on the other hand are a lot flatter against the window. why is that?

CW

 

Yeah, very amazing. So so clean...

 

They were custom made in Vancouver by a guy from http://www.sinnovations2.com great fit, way thicker than the bubble out ones, and slim!

 

did you replace a lot of the engine bay bolts with new OEM ones? If so....did you order them from a dealer? I need to replace some of mine.

 

Clean car. I'm glad you're happy with the emblems, they'll make a great addition.

 

Brand new again! You have in your hand a layer of the type R's soul

 

She's looking minty fresh again.

 

neat visors, great looking R
