Default Hydrographic valve cover at dip-tech.net

In the recent Nov 2009 issue of Honda Tuning, many may have read about www.dip-tech.net.

This is a hydrographic dipping and clear coat process for any part, in my case I used my valve cover. Check out the website for unlimited designs.

Valve cover looks pretty sweet!!!

LOL @ your car though, looks legit, but it looks like you tried to replace any possible part you could with an aftermarket piece haha.

engine bay looks clean as hell!! Did you replace all bolts and what not? I need to replace just about every bolt since they're all rusted and nasty. I might do a few now but if I ever do a motor swap I'm doing all bolts. If you did replace all bolts did you use oem or stuff from hardware store?

I replaced about 70% of the bolts.........virtually all of the ones that can be seen.

I used all OEM stuff. I usually go through internet Honda and Acura parts departments at:

Acura Carland Duluth Georgia / www.acuraautomotiveparts.net
Majestic Honda Lincoln Rhode Island / www.hondaautomotiveparts.com
