Posted by tim97rs, Nov-23-03 01:32 PM
Motors out, all new HRC stage 2 kit goin in. accents need to stay red just because of coil pack and wires. should i keep what i've got (see pic below) or should i do something different with valve cover and or pipes?

ideas?

I like how it looks now. Nice and clean...I would say possibly powdercoating your VC or something but I like every how it is now. Good luck.

Looks like you're going black with red and silver accents. What about something like this (valve cover)?

I'd make everything red or silver or black.. or red/black.. black/silver/red is kinda awkward IMO. It's fine right now, but that's how I'd do it. :thumbsup

I like how it looks now.The only thing I would say is get the valve cover powder coated red, silver or gunmetal.

Go for a chromed out look. Get your valve cover polished. Check out my link below and the first engine bay pic! Let me know what you think....We have similiar red accents.:thumbsup

I say get the VC pc red then grind the lettering to a polished silver.

i think it looks good! If you wanted to finish it up a little more you could powder coat your valve cover. Either black or silver. Then polish the "DOHC" so it looks clean. That would be sharp.
