Polished Valve Cover

So, me and 06BrandonSS wanted to do something for my engine bay that would kind of make it stand out amongst the other cars at the meet at CED on 11/22/08.

So he and I decided to do our best and doing a hand polished valve cover. We had previously half-done my SC, and I have an MRZ strut bar as well. It came out what most would call "brushed", but I wanted to see what the peps here on the net thought. Any and all feed back, good and bad please.

*yes I know about the oil leak, its since been cleaned up and all

i like it. has enough shine to get your attention, but not enough to have to much "bling" factor.

Yeah intake doesn't match, lol.

It took a lot of sanding...uhm...maybe 40 minutes of sanding, we could have gone much longer. Then we polished it.
