Yes that would be me its a silver car by the way. I'll get a picture later when I am not on my parents comp as all my gallery pics got deleted during the web site upgrades. As for the pink valve cover it started as a joke between friends that I had planned on changing out no tlong after putting it on. However, many a people seemed to take the valve cover color personally for some reason and really disliked it. People also talked alot of shit until they saw what the car was capable of and then they shut up realllll quick.



The valve cover, sadly will be retired soon. BUT! it won't be lost forever as a good friend of mine is taking since I am selling my car.

Does anyone remember the guy that did valve covers on eBay? I bought an airbrushed one with lightning all over it when I went through my ricer stage like 4 years ago. That valve cover was awesome, wanna try and find it again.

Purple is for GAYMO's. jk.. it actually looks really good Now, just imagine that engine bay in a barcelona red eclipse now THAT'S a man car.

It is in a Barcelona Red Pearl car.....................now it would look better in the 99 with the Dark Plum Pearl (color code P51).


Looking under the engine shots in the Gallery would have worked for this.....................

I'm going to try and be unique and only shave the lettering and leaving the lines.
In progress.

I was just wondering were you going to leave whats left of the lines or add in the rest of it

 

[DSMcamaro]

Just leave it. I really have no way of adding to it.

 

[thegchild04]

what are you using to shave the cover with? is that a bit for a drill?

 

[JayRolla]

Here's mine, just love the candy red.
