Official Manifold Cover thread
this isnt my fit but this is a custom honda vavle cover off my old car...
1998 Honda Prelude Type SH
before:


after:



I did a few more for other people but have no pics.... This isn't an easy mod by any means. Takes about 5hours of prep....and uses a lot of sandpaper, a grinder, jb weld, and a good paint stripper.



I did about 15 color coats on everything.
I started with a adhesion promoter(sp?) then used a high temp black(about 3 coats) then whatever color you want(10-15 thin coats) then I used 4 coats of hi temp clear

i finally got the chance this weekend to re do mine from silver to blue.
P.S i also painted my oil dipstick in black as you all can see to add to the JDM FLAVOR.
( i have no idea is the jdm fit dipstick is black but what i do know that all of their other cars in japan come with black dipsticks)
