I like the valve cover a lot. the rest I can do without. Looks like you did a nice job though, what kind of paint?

I don't think you would need a hi temp paint for the parts your painting.

Where is the acura sticker on the strut bar from ?
I like that accent,It's better than seeing the same old neuspeed on the neuspeed bar.

Yea, the Type S' have the IMRC, resulting in the different intake. The CL/TL-Ps dont. They just have a flat cover.

I was just detailing our TL-S engine bay today and the engine cover was HOT so good call on using high temp paint.

If you like it keep it, but personally I would only do the engine cover and use a diff color.
