Default brent's valve cover makeover! gasp!

check it yo! just got done w/me valve cover. i am super pleased. its not perfect (cuz the can got a leak and dripped on it once gd), but it looks fathoms better than plain jane black. i still gotta sand the letters. gotta wait til the paint hardens... oh! and btw, i didnt pull it off to do it cuz everytime i pull my vc, the gd gasket swells up and i cant use it. costs like $25 to get a new one and thats bs...

i feel like it looks more... finished i guess. like it should have come this way from the factory, ya know? manufacturers should listen to enthusiasts more. my bro-in-law is a honda bigwig. sez he can get me 15% off a new one. may trade my 08 gts lancer in on a si coupe automatic for the wife... idk why i started rambling like that. i feel like a decrepit old man with alzheimers...

it'll be a dd for my wife. dont get me wrong, she can prob out drive and out drink most dudes on this forum, but she commutes like 45mi one way each day so a 5spd gets old for her. her eclipse was a 5spd, but her lifted up k10 silverado was an automatic. u gotta love country girls... wtf is a crz??? time to google it...
