i think if you left the letters more visible it would look much better. It would have more detail to it.

Looks good, but I have to agree about the lettering. If you paint the lettering black it would really pop.

Or polish the lettering back out to metal.

Valve covers cover valves...

This covers your intake manifold.

Looks good though, just need to sand off the letters.

Seems like you did a quality job! Looks good but I think you should have the letters done in a different color. Here is what I did with mine for reference, I painted the cover black and let it dry. Afterward, I taped the sides and sanded and polished just the raised letters a little for a brushed aluminum look.

Looks nice and maybe color the outer cover as well? Red and silver doesn't seem to go too well here.
