Default Engine dress up

Ok so i was thinking that this summer i would do the reflash and dress up the engine bay a little. I got on ebay and saw that a guy makes and sells c/f intake mani covers and spark plug covers for half the price or Password jacked up price JDM. Has anyone bought one of these things? If so how did it fit. Im also doing the wrinkle red valve cover too.

if you could provide a link it would help. but most ebay stuff has small fitment issues, but nothing u cant work around. cuz my friend bought an ebay cf hood and all he had to do was flip the latch and it fit perfect.

red wrinkle coat is too common. i was thinking of paint mine chrome or some weird color nobody has seen before. no neon colors! ftr

ill find it and post a link. But yea the wrinkle red is common but it looks so nice. plus its a direct swap. No extra work of painting and stuff.Plus dont fix what aint broke.

Wrinkle looks good even though its common. aww well. its not like time attack rims. thats sumthing you can see on a car. noone will see the engine bay unless the hoods poped.

I just bought some Seibon toys earlier today.. so that'll keep me busy.

I like the red wrinkle.. it definitly dresses up the engine a bit. personally, I'm sick of seeing the black/grey/more black color of the engine bay. it definitly needs to be dressed up a bit

I have an 06 LX and I hated the black plastic plug wire cover, so I masked off the "Honda" lettering and sprayed it with Krylon Fusion paint. The silver color I used nearly matches the Alabaster Silver Metallic paint on the car, and it doesn't scream "I'm a crappy piece of plastic" anymore. I also used the same paint for my window switch trims, steering wheel trim, shifter trim, and center console storage pocket.
