I've always wanted to do this, but just never found the time. When Spring changeover an maintenance came this year, I was doing a Pulley, Plugs, filter, MAF and TB cleaning so I figured why not give it a shot.

Yeah I should have detailed and washed up the engine bay a bit.... next time

Picz

















The IDI cover I just did a really quick hack job on.... I think I'm gonna pull it and redo it, better, I like how it matches the blower

For reference heres my other option, the SMSC cover with Sunburst orange backplate



And Yeah I know my helmet is ghetto, but They haven't flagged it at a track day yet

Anyways, Lemme hear it, the good and the ugly

 

Looks awesome man! I love that hood. I wanna get the same one. Quick question though, you must get a shitload of water in that engine bay when it rains huh?

 

paint the valve cover!

 

looks nice man.. really like it. good work !

 

Its not too bad, when its parked and its raining it basically just washes the blower. I haven't had any problems yet, thru Fall, Winter and so far in Spring. Really though, our air filters are in the fender, so as long as the PCM/fuses and coils arent getting to wet it should be all good

Im considering it,,,, just dunno how I feel about painting it in the engine bay,,, and I don't care enough the disassemble tp do it right. Have other projects before that could happen

ty sir

 

Buy a spare valve cover to powdercoat then sell the one that's on it now. No downtime and little out of pocket expense.

 

Just take the valve cover off and paint it... youll only be with out a car for an afternoon....

 

i like it looks really good

 

Ill hafta do that when
i get some more spare time

 

i have a spare valve cover for sale. $70 shipped

 

Not in a big hurry yet to do that, I might just swap back my SMSC cover anyways.. Thanks though

 

I like the stock valve cover with a painted coil cover. Mine is painted black.

 

Thanks
