all_red, I know what you mean. It actually looks a little worse in the picture than in person though. If you look at it again, I added a little more red, was nervous doing it too. Because the color of the car is so dark red and the flash is so bright, it makes the other red look more orange. On the other hand, the picture makes my valve cover look better than it really does. In person it needs some attention, either polish or powder-coat. I'm worried about doing much with the strut bar because it is very close to the hood. It has worn a hole in that hood blanket. I have a carbon fiber hood from Fiber Images coming on Wednesday. I really like that red strut bar available for the Gen-2s though, good idea. I'm thinking of doing a braided hose from the radiator... If I would've thought about doing this before, I'd have gotten the headers polished.
HKS, I hope your post isn't deleted and I don't know the thread you're talking about that was locked. Maybe it was locked for a reason that didn't involve you. I like your idea about chrome. In my opinion, you can never have too much chrome in the engine compartment. -JoeB
