The rest of the removabe parts are done too .. it also is a match for the calipers keeping the theme the same. I'll post installed pix once the parts have a couple days to dry well.

 

lol nice! I did that a year ago

 

Krylon Plasticote?

 

Never been a fan of painted plastic...but lets see what it looks like on in a few days....

 

Caliper paint.

 

Here is the installed pieces .. they aren't as orangie as the pix show ( or maybe its my monitor ).

I'm undecided wether to do the piece across the front over the rad or not .. might be too much.

Its not to everyones taste but sometimes its just the little extra touches that gets you placed at car shows.

 

looks good man i painted my engine cover white and all the shrouds including the front like a nickel silver color to match the trim on the grill. will post piks later...

 

Painting the shrouds to the body color would look reallty nice, also see if you can paint the spark plug covers as those stick out, being red on black.

 

I would definitely do the front cover. It just looks like it's lacking right now.

Otherwise, looks good. I'm planning on doing mine in gloss black over the summer. It's so hard to keep the flat black plastic looking good, so gloss with a nice coat of clear and some wax on it hopefully will stay cleaner!

 

Actuall Meguiars #40 Rubber & Vinyl Conditioner works great on the unpainted flat black covers.

 

Got mine painted NBP when the body kit was installed. It looks awesome, like you said-it sets you apart at car show time.

My I would have done it body color.

Looks good anyways.

 

my I dont think you will be able to keep a painted plastic underhood surface looking good nearly as long as the thru color matte black plastic covers with some 303 or other quality protectant. especially if you are going to be removing and reinstalling them at all.

 

How is this thread still in the performance section? It's just a painted engine cover... unless painting your engine cover get 10 HP...

 

I think JUST the engine cover would have been alright... but the rest looks over the top...

 

11 WHP i believe, that combined with the acurazine stickers gets you a total of 24 WHP and the addition of the comptech sticker brings you up to about 35 WHP.

 

Look pretty nice but IMO I might chrome it or paint it black on the Center Vtec cover
