thats funny, definitly took a lot of skill that i dont have.

EDIT: I might do a practice run on the stock valve cover I have now, so if anyone wants it after, I would be happy to sell you it.

im planning to paint my valve cover black with the HONDA letters in white since im going with a white on black theme and black interior. my civic doesnt say VTEC either even though its an EX. oh well i guess ill have to deal with it or just buy a VTEC one off of ebay. BTW im new here.

i think it would look nice if you wet sanded it down to the metal before you clear coat it.
