It's really easy! Just need a camera and a tripod.

Take one pic with the hood down, then one pic with the hood up and engine exposed. Use a tripod to ensure the angle, height, etc. of the pic are the same. Then using photoshop or something like that, paste the closed hood pic over the open hood pic, then fade the hood to expose the engine!

Thanks Guys...... and Gals.

To be completely honest I only spent like 5 minutes or less on that photo shop it is really easy. Just take one image put it over the other then use the eraser to erase everything but the engine bay then put the eraser at 24% opacity to get rid of some of the jagged edges around the engine bay then set that layer at I think 64% fill.

If anyone wants me to do the photo shop I can just give me the two pics you want done in a pm. They have to be the exact same pic just one hood up one hood down ( use a tripod ).

So are most people just snapping the VTEC emblem off? Also how long are you guys leaving it out to dry? Can you drive around without the manifold cover?

Mine was off for two days one day drying paint and the next drying clear coat. Between black coat underneath and bronze coat on top was two hours.


All depends on what you do how much paint you put on etc.....


And yes I just snapped the vtec off then used some clear 3m double sided tape to put it back on.
