bigmonkey: that's unique. I dont see any reasons why you paint engine cover coz no one is gonna see it. But it sure looks different from others.

Sweet! I like really like the engine cover. I was thinking of doing mine in royal blue matching my calipers since the guys who installed my Clifford alarm put a couple small scratched there. You just made up my mind.....thanks [b]Big Monkey!/b]

seems as if you didnt cut anything up right? just did some real acurate cuttings and attatched it w/the plastic cuffs that polise use... (sorry forgot the names lol)
i believe you used one on each side for each slot right... meaning two for each opening... am i correct?

Thanks ....

BE1: Like snook789, I used gutter guard and paint it white

Ballxnxparley: I used high temperature spray paint... The stuff that used for BBQ grill, heater radiator, etc. Turn out better than I thought as it has no glossy effect and look like ceramic.

Smarter: u are right, but when I pop the hood......

TLDaddy: It will look phat ... post pic when u done

RedHotTL/TommyAmrani: check your email.

Thanks....

haha: it's pretty easy to clean, just used a soft damp cloth. But I have to be careful when doing oil change or work close to it.

KUMO: I made it myself and reuse the Acura emblem to attached to the new grille.
