Should have painted the valve cover instead of the engine cover. But it still looks pretty decent

Take engine cover off and paint valve cover and get a color matched coupler for intake

Close to Galveston. Many cops have seen my tint and haven't said anything. The cops in my city told us 20% is ok

Thanks


How much of a pain is it to take off the valve cover? Would replace the gasket if I take it off to paint.

Im done with the interior just looking at other little things to do.

For the 500th time Im not lowering it, too much risk of bottoming out on speed bumps and bad roads I drive on. What do you guys mean by there is too much going on, specific inside,outside its not an SS and dont plan on making it one.

well in my opinon:

Headlights=rice
stripes=rice
fogs=1999 rice
grille=autozone rice
interior=SUPER rice
wheels-too small unless lowered
engine bay=SUPER DUPER rice.

Sorry just how i call it, but its an opinion and everyone is entitled to their own.

I only say this because i expected much better for a tax returns thread:

My tax return thread will have:
FXR 50w retros with E55 Shrouds
going about 1.5" lower
SRS catback
led tail lights
7" double din
2.4 manifold
and dont forget 7" headrest Tv's with ps2!
