Default some better valve cover pics....





what happens when u accidently touch the lense..




i think im going to redu this. the person that did it didnt bother to sand it down to get all the imperfections out. what yall think? should i just go with the bare metal look? i like both

i like the steel color but it is almost like that underneath as well.
u could also shave off the DOHC VTEC and maybe the too? they look so smooth when theyre clean like that.

actually there all painted. and nice valve cover but i ment shaved as in you cant see the lettering.

lol and ya heres some of my grass, top half was photoshopped cuz there was a fence there, thanks for the comment on nice cover and cam



to the left there used to be a tee that we cut down resently (like 1-2 months) and to the right there used to be a couple sheds. so thats why its kinda light greenish, and yes i am defending my lawn


EDIT: o and these pics where with a diff cam. top one(valve covers) i just Bought yesterday its really cool.

i was gonna say, damm that was quick!

i've seen a valve cover in person, that had the lettering the DOHC, and VTEC shaved off, and i personally didn't like it...think it looks better with the writing.

like the silver
