i didn't look at the pic very well. at that angle it kinda look slanted

So, what's the status now!?

Well the current status is this,

I'm making valve covers this weekend.......and as far as the hood design package...I can not find a manufactuer to supply large quantities of gas springs and mounting brackets for a reasonable rate to sale.....I would be forced to charge a price not really marketable to you guys in order to make my profit....so the only thing I can do right now is sale you the design instructions,and you guys buy the materials, which would really be the cheapest thing anyway...but I'm still checking. The last thing is the trunk design....I've been to busy to design...although other memebers have already done that mod...Peace and thanks for your intrest.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Did you ever take any more pics of the valve cover?

Yes, and I'll post Monday for you guys to see...my wife is pregnant and work is killing me...so time is of the essence...peace![IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

Congrats! First child? I have two, a girl and a boy. You will be truely blessed.

Thanks SQCivic,

Yes my first child......I drove my Truck today instead of my Honda,....sorry, I'll have up the pictures tomorrow or late this evening....BTW,

I made a different style this weekend......I'll post later...Peace!

ALLMAN I'm quite interested in the valve covers you are making.
Could you please email me about it? SpdRcrChk@aol.com. Thanks.

Hey allman...
I am very interested in the instructions.
How much would it be?
Could you private message me your information so I can send you the money ASAP.
That would be awesome because I am getting together with a couple of 2k1 civic ppls this month.

peace out![IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

Hey what's this?

What do you mean,...."hey what's this"???..you mean the mod's?

hey allman nice work.
my hs is too ghetto for funding metal shops.
id buy the valve covers but no mula. but id be very interested in buying the instructions for the hood struts...
if ur worried about money orders set up a paypal account. its quick and easy.

Well so far I've had no problems w/ money orders but I may do the paypal account set-up if enough orders come in. I can sale the instructions with detailed schematics, colored pictures, and installation pictures using my car as an example and all necessary design and material info for $15.


I took some pictures, closer up for all to see....

thanks for the diy worked great on my friends car i just need the courage to try it on mine

Yo allman it wouldnt be hard for you to make the 4 (spark plug covers) i know thats not what they are im just to drunk to think of what they are right now but you know what im talkin about. I think it would look a lot more complete with that. dont mean to dog you youve done more than anyone else and i know everyone agrees with that[IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]

Actually they are already done...I made them back in November/December...and they are in the pictures.....it is just the light refelects to much...taking pictures of polished aluminum is hard due to reflections....so if people like the pictures, then the real mod is much better......!...thanks for input though!...Peace[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

I just edit this message to show the new picture of my polished pieces your refering to...look "HERE"...Peace!

hey would you be interested in selling youre's or making me one? valve cover i mean. email me at nuttyhonda@aol.com thanks for youre time

hello just wondering if you would sell the valve covers and i mean valve covers i mean 5 of them just to me. let me know at nuttyhonda@aol.com

sounds like someone either has a club or hopes to sell them for a profit....

ALLMAN, and fellows, i installed gas shocks on my honda last weekend. To tell you the truth I found gas shocks at AutoZone. I found some that are about 12 inches long. i thought that they may not support the hood but i was wrong. it works wonderful...i havent done my trunk yet but will soon. You will also need the brackets....I had to get them at a truvalue. Anyways, I share this with you ALLMAN cause it will save you shipping from online. I wont tell anybody how i did it cause I dont want to steal your limelight..lol...so on with your plans...i think its a great idea...have at it...OH and your valve cover design is flawless...wonderful idea....i may decide to purchase one from you...good job

Hey Allman your car is one of the nicest cars at 2k1civic.com! So how much would it be for the valve cover with the 4 other smaller covers shipped and everything? Thanks in advance. Your civic looks great keep up the great work!

Thanks guys!!!!!!..sniff..sniff!!!,

I would be glad to make as many valve covers as you guys are willing to buy.....I've revised the design a little for better looks....plus I've already made several types with "VTEC Emblems"..."CIVIC emblems"....vinyl decals..etc....and they all look great.....I'll post pictures later this week as well as a new DIY for a SRI extension to an Injen intake.....my covers are sold "Blank" for you to customize to your liking....BTW theSHADIEST......PM to tell me the specs on your gas struts....as I did not find the desired strut form AutoZone..my where specially made for my car...but anyway great job...and send pictures!.....let me know about the covers may thursday as I already have a couple of orders going..again thanks guys!!!!![IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]...Peace!

...Still wondering how much it would cost in total plus shipping? Hope to see the pics. of the valve covers soon

I'll post all new Valve cover pictures this weekend as well as a new DIY...I plan on working on my car all weekend......then you guys decide what and if you want a cover..Peace!

More pictures Please!!!!! lol sorry I just really the idea of an aluminum valve cover rather than my plastic painted one!

does a valve cover have a particular function or is it purely for aesthetics? sorry if this sounds dumb, but i'm new to car stuff [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

its just for looks, but boy does it look good

I started a new thread with a revised DIY Cover w/ pics.....Link to Thread!!!...Peace!
