thank you your majesties! now i wanna get the clutch fluid reservoir and brake fluid caps cause i butchered the OGs' so i could fit those chrome covers on. anyone know where i can get these besides the junk yard? they don't wanna sell the caps by themselves.

autozone high temp paint. red 6407. i painted it then waited til it was dry, but not too dry and then i peeled the top of the letters with a razor blade. after it dried real good i sanded the top for a polish with some 400grit.
don't put the valve cover in the oven after painting even though the paint can says it's ok. i did it and had to strip the cover and redo it. came out aight though.
edit: for the charge pipe i just used .94 cent flat black
they don't get too hot to mess up the paint.

you're best bet would prolly be the honda dealership, or just post in the 'wanted' section, i'm sure there are plenty of people that have them laying around of parts cars or whatever.

nothing much

BTW is that a autozone cone filter i see?

fo sho autozone filter & valve cover breather. lookin tight
and the price is right. i don't think pointing the BOV at the air filter would make a difference cause the BOV blows out air when you take the foot off the gas to switch gears, then the BOV blows out air, by the time you give it gas again all that air would've gone away.

I think you should paint the air filter bling part and the bov to go totally stealth, but then again I sell stealthmode stickers so I'm biased.

you should paint the bov black and the oil cap too ;)
