shaved my manifold cover :)

so i was bored one day and figured i'd start this PIA project lol

used a palm sander with 80 grit to sand down the surface then used 120 and 220 and then some primer -- the finish is still a little bumpy from me getting spray can happy BUT - im not completely done yet.

i was planning to do something different so i didnt shave the honda lettering put i ended up putting the vinyl over it - its barely noticeable

here is some pics





and semi done..



badge or no badge ???

do not paint the lower intake mani black, to much heat soak.
