Bumper mod and shaved valve cover

[genegoesfast]

Just test fit (for looks) my modded bumper. I shaved the fog light holes, the mitsu logo and the license plate holes.

bumper looks nice, but valve cover looks boring as hell. maybe some color...

Looks good, i like the white... i would like to see more of the engine bay.

Looks good. Is it powder coated or painted? I would agree as well with the color but everyone has their own taste. Get a cam gear cover put on. I think that a new set of stainless bolts would really pop well with the VC however

Love the bumper with the fog light holes covered and the emblem shaved, good work.

I like both the bumper and VC. I'll be shaving my here soon. It's already off the car just to remove the old red chipped paint and do work!

Looking good.

It's high temp paint right now. I'll be powdercoating it next week. I completely agree on the stainless bolts. I also intend on having the RRE spark plug cover(powder coated black)...

Looks clean! The RRE spark plug cover in black would be a good contrast.

 

[genegoesfast]

Thanks! I appreciate all the kind words.

RRE sells it anodized black already, and it holds up better then powdercoat. I'm not trying to fill your thread with pictures of my car so heres a link of a shot with the RRE black spark plug cover. When you call to order it, ask for Honda (his names Robert but he goes by Honda), and tell him you want the black anodized spark plug cover. Typically its $10 more, but he sold the black one to me for no extra charge because they are trying to get rid of them.

Thanks for the hint! Looks great.

When do you plan on getting the bumper painted?

 

[genegoesfast]

I'm painting the whole car in the next 2 months or so.

 

[GMCometh]

The front bumper looks great. I can't wait to shave the tag holes on mine...

 

[2GbTalonGuy]

Are you painting it the same color or changing the color?

 

[genegoesfast]

I'm pretty set on white pearl for the color. I'm not completely sure though.

 

[2GbTalonGuy]

That would look awesome.

 

[megaskillz]

White pearl would be a good color. You don't see that everyday on a dsm.

I'm always a fan of the shaved front bumper on a 2G, and yours looks great

 

[NeMiZiS]

Bumper and valve cover both look good.
Let me know how hard it is, to keep the white clean though!

 

[genegoesfast]

Probably going to suck real bad

 

[lando_r9]

yeah the valve cover needs some color but looks good

Before I expanded the picture the valve cover almost looked a off white.

It inspired me to get a valve cover painted with glow in the dark paint.

By all means "shaved" is always best!
