    if you took off the pinstripe it'd look alot better.

    also, how did you paint the valve cover? it looks really cool

    thanks for the comments folks. well, i agree with you about the pinstripes. the pinstripes were gonna get taken off soon, whenever i get some time off...the pinstripes and the stickers on my back bumper. and also, i painted my valve cover with high temp paint. i used a high temp grey primer, high temp black base coat, and high temp chameleon top coat, and then a final coat of high temp clear gloss enamel to seal it up. i thought it was gonna turn out crappy and crack or bubble up, but it worked out great.:woot: thanks for looking guys.:)

    ***New Updates!!!!***

    i haven't updated my build-up thread of my car in a bit...but i just recently installed SiR headlights onto my sedan. i also changed colors on my valvecover again, now it's lime green with a touch of chameleon paint on it. hope you guys like the new updates. :D

    i'm moving back home to Hawaii soon, so no new mods anymore till i get to Hawaii. the last thing i'm having done before i go back though is i'm getting my suspension re-balanced, dropped, and an alignment check done on monday, so i can have a smooth ride again. winter sucks!

    looks good, i didn't realize that it was a sedan. i used to have a 97 ex coupe in green like yours, i miss that car so much. i ordered black housing headlights for it but when they showed up they were the black housing, but they had th ion film on the inside, so that sucked but they looked alright. also, i used some high temp paint on my integra's valve cover that was supposed to be red, but after i painted it and drove it once, it had burned into this bad ass signal orange color, i'll post pics soon. but i like your ride, is it auto or 5 speed??? and i like the white emblem better. i know its not as jdm as the red emblem, but i thought the white looked really good(thats what i had on my coupe).

    thanks for the comments, i appreciate it:D to answer your questions...
    when i installed it, i felt a bit of a gain...but with a stock exhaust manifold, the air flow is still a little restrictive. but compared to the stock D16Y7 IM, there is a big difference in power and response IMO. i'm glad i have the skunk2 IM :)

    my car is a 5 speed. i liked the white emblems for a while too, but the back one kept falling off when it would get wet, or hot. plus, around the same time, more people in the town i live in started to copy my flavah, so i took it as a sign to change, and i did...to the red H badge. :D no one has copied me on this one yet in my town, thank goodness. :) please do post pics of your burnt orange VC, i wanna see it...i don't think i'll be rocking the lime green for too long, it was just an experiment, lol. and i love my new SiR headlights, they're so much better as far as light output goes. :thumbup:

    looks great man. the fogs really set it off. loving the valve cover too.

    i wish they made cool valve covers for the ones with sparkplugs in the back, but hopefully i'll get a b-series in the next year or so.

    keep it up bro.:rocks:
