Painted valve cover
well i decided to repaint my valve cover cause the oem paint was all scratched up and i wanted a brighter red to match my car.

tell me what u guys think i know its not perfect but i think it came out decent considering i suck at painting stuff LOL





i still goto sand off the "TWIN CAM 16VALVE" part but i wanted to take pics while it was still daytime lol and those pics show u how much wider the SR head iis compared to the KA head
