I bought a set of valve covers for my car a while back with hopes of getting them powdercoated some sort of gunmetal color to match my wheels. A few months went by until I finally came to the realization that I am poor and can't afford to spend the money on having the valve covers powdercoated. It was at this point that I grabbed the rattlecan and painted them black. I ordered a new set of gaskets and bolts to fix the leaking issues I was having and went to work.
Intake Removed:
Goodbye Y Pipe and Throttle Body:
First Cover off:
The new hotness awaiting installation:
Black covers installed w/ new hardware:
Y Pipe back in place:
All back together:
Parked at work in need of a wash:
The car fired up and ran fine afterwards, no problems whatsoever. It only took me about two hours taking my time. Overall I'm pretty happy with the results, I only wish I would have had the money to spend on a JBL cover to clean up that mess around the sparkplugs better.
