Default * * * Honda-Tech's Valve Cover Build Off MONTH #4 * * *

so i decided to be the one to start the new one because i am bored.

RULES:
You must have pics of you doing the valve cover, not shipping it off to get powder coated.
Post pictures of the process of you tricking out your valve cover.
Stripping a stock cover and spray painting wrinkle red or black will not help you win.

This contest is all about originality and imagination. Make something crazy, funny weird or super clean, but make it something no one's ever seen before.


no prize just cool points unless somebody wants to donate something.

contest will end april 15th at midnight, so start posting them up.

I wanted something different and this is my first attempt at painting my VC:






Added crappy phone pics.

The color is Dodge Hemi Orange.

Oh, and the new header....Blang Blang!

I did this yesterday and I don't think the paint has cured yet.

Also, I am not sure if I should sand the paint off the emblems and letters and/or paint the bolts and oil cap.

Hell, maybe i will throw another color on there and some more stars and lines........I am not creative at all!
