Default I got my cluster fixed and I got some pics to celebrate!

I fixed teh cluster. My dumb *** missed a blwon fuse somehow....So, I decided to paint my valve cover on the b18b today. I was sick of looking at the ugly *** blakc/brown(dirt stained) vc. Here's some before the swap and today photos for comparison...

BEFORE SWAPPING TO THE LS


AFTER THE B18B and valve cover paint job

yep. car is white. Looks damn good imo. Color is Camo green. Funny thing is, that is an AEM filter. I have a AEM CAI to put on, I'm just too lazy lately. PLus its cool hearing the intake get louder btwn shifts. kinda replaces the bov. Your car also looks tons better with that spot painted.

The color reminds me of Spenser's olive drab fetish.

Looks good.

Thanks man. I'm loving the green too. But the cover rubs on my hood frame...

WTF that sucks! What mounts are you using? I always thought the vtec valve covers were higher...but I guess I'm probably wrong...

my old vtec head rubbed on it too. I'm using billet hasports. I still have the material heat shield thingon the hood, and that's what it rubs on. I'm sure it would rub the subframe if I took that off.
