What have people done for their engine to make it look nice?? Post pics if anyone has done anything like painting valve covers and stuff, I just want ideas.

 

No pictures because my car got jacked before I could take pics. =/
But VHT is awesome. Painted the engine a dark orange. Covers black, header and exhaust black. Left the carb chrome. Painted the bay black. Was clean.

They also have wheel paint and caliper paint and even night-shades.

IMO If you paint your valve cover it makes your bay look 10x cleaner.

 

+1. much cleaner.

 

If i had pics on my ps3 i would show you before and after of mine

 

Its all about color schemes. Pick a color or two that will flow well together. Matching FPR and Fuel Rail colors and painting valve cover is a good start. Then you can go a little farther with a mild wire tuck, aluminum radiator, and just scrub the bay down with some simple green.

 

heres my 97 civic valve cover

 

What kind of paint is good?? anything I can get at a auto parts or hardware store?

 

wow om4r, cleanest engine bay I have ever seen on a car that age. I can see my reflection in your air intake.
