What do you think of this valve cover?
Keep in mind, it was rattle canned almost immediately after it was stripped. The paint came out horrible. I was going for an anodized purple look but it looks like its more plum purple now.
Anyway, what do you think?
What I started with... (I had the bungs welded on by a shop for $50 including bungs.)
Red paint stripped.
OE breather tube removed. I just used pliers, however Honda Tuning used a torch to heat up the aluminum and pull the breather tube out.
[/B]
I tapped it with a 3/8" tap and sealed it with a 3/8" allen set screw.
Finished product.
I was extremely bored on one of my days off and figured why not. I do plan on shaving off the lettering as well as the 2 ears that stick off the valve cover and lastly that lump of shit on the belt cover portion.
