Re: Dericed the engine bay!

looks much better than green but black would have matched with your car better imo. Also might want to look into getting radiator cover from a sedan to cover that huge gap. I had it the same way and when I put that piece on it looked so much cleaner.

Re: Dericed the engine bay!

Still does not look "Clean", neither does your engine bay. Go clean the engine it will look alot better. If you don't want a header, polish your heat shield.

Re: Dericed the engine bay!

I am painting the VTEC part black coming up soon when i find the time to tape everything off.

As for the ambers....


When i was blacking the headlights out i thought it would be dope to use some niteshades on the ambers to give em a dark orange look , well turns out i didnt have enough VHT in the can so it started sputtering out paint making everything uneven and gross.

Re: Dericed the engine bay!

Looks good to me. You did a good job. I figured your car was red, but a red cover with a black car isn't bad at all.

I think your engine bay looks great with the red instead of the green. The red works much better with the black than the green.

One question…is Ghey an acronym for something?

Re: Dericed the engine bay!

I hope your exterior isnt as ugly as your engine bay was...

BTW, dont bother with buying a new heat shield. Just take the shield off and admire your rusted headers

Ok…I object you using the term “gay,” in your signature, for something that is dumb or stupid.

Do you consider all gay people dumb or stupid? If you do, then I consider all straight people bigots.
