hmmm...well it looks sharp, it's definitely a job well done.

I just personally don't like the green. but what kind of paint did you use? how did you paint it on?

Is this the valve cover for all d17? Maybe I'll look for a D.I.Y, this looks pretty good.

It's not a d17. It's probably a d15 or d16. Our valve covers don't say honda on them because of the wires on top.

The valve cover is off of my d16 it's simple to do all i used was high heat engine paint got it from autozone got it for like $4 i used stripper to get off all the grease and prep it for paint sprayed it made the letters shine and put it back on if you look for a DIY and cant find it let me know i took a couple of pics so i could maybe make one

Ah nice. I knew this dude that did his d16 valve cover black with the metal letters. You like paint the whole thing, then just block sand the top of the letters to bring it back to metal. Nice job. I'm just going to get mine chromed.
