How I spent my day.

[KillTheCrow]

.93Lude and I painted my valve cover today. I'm very happy with how it came out and I think we did pretty good for our first time.

The final product!

looks time consuming

[.93lude]

good work bud!

[KillTheCrow]

It took around 12 hours, but it was mostly waiting for paint to dry and sanding and resanding. Haven't put it back in yet, I'm letting it sit overnight. I'll take a daylight pic with it on the car tomorrow.

good job! Looks awesome dude!

if you get some more time to clean, wipe down the engine bay and spray it down, it'll compliment the cover more!

Nice work! what does this star mean?

[KillTheCrow]

Thanks! Nautical stars all have different means for different people but it's basically every point represents a different characteristic usually independance, intuition, integrity, innovation and individuality.

[.93lude]

does it mean anything that all of those start with "in?"

[KillTheCrow]

Yes Jonny, yes it does.




.... Jk.

[csmiths]

looks good man, and i kinda like the headlights, its something diff, and it looks like it matches the wheels and valve cover, so good job man.

[JITB]

i like the lights... you did the impossible... and be unique with a civic! +++ :0 i want to see more of the headlights.

[KillTheCrow]

Thanks it's what I've been going for! It's damn hard to do on a strict I'm-poor-as-hell budget, but I'm slowly making progress! I'll post more picks of the headlights tomorrow.

[Humphrizzle]

nice cover.. i dont like the headlight housings though

[KillTheCrow]

Thanks. It's really a hit or a miss with those headlights. You either like 'em or you don't. And I like them so that's all that matters.

[90_ACCORD]

Depends on what you want. I'm no Bucky, but I'll give it shot. Remember me and .93Lude did this out of my garage, we're by no means professionals. Lol.

[KillTheCrow]

I like how I say that and the thread dies. Lol.
