Thanks man, point & shoot Canon and a little time in Photoshop.

 

Got a good deal on a used Password:JDM manifold cover so I picked it up. I really like this cover, but I like to be unique too so this will only act as a filler. I will probably put it on whenever I am working on new schemes for my stock manifold cover. (Like right now )

 

Cover looks good, but toooo much in photoshop. Look at the intake manifold runners they appear to be almost like rusted out with no rust. Also your orange car is now red. Use the clarity, little saturation, and a little vibrance. Thats about it for photoshop. Its the pic itself that does the work.

 

It was done on purpose. I like the mechanical parts of my car to look like they are being used in shots like this. The orange still looks orange on my monitor.

grave dig! finished it yesterday

 

mine to

 

Sold my Carbon cover, so I painted my stock one a different color again.

 

paint the honda black. takes like 5mins with a touch up car paint pen. i was gonna do green to match my lugs.

 

This is actually just temporary until some more of my paint & airbrush equipment arrives, so I probably won't bother.

 

Oh, big plans I see.

 

mine looks exactly like that

 

Lots of very cool ideas in here!

 

Found this thread and had to jump in on the fun. Had completed mine with about 3 coats of Dupli-Color Adhesion Promoter (helps paint stick to platic) and 3 coats of Dupli-Color Engine Enamel (Handles high engine heat) Blue. Almost matches my Short Ram intake. Thanks for the ideas and info.

 

^^ that looks really nice, I love the blue. What color is your Fit?

 

Anybody thought about painting the stock airbox to match the manifold cover? I've been thinking of doing that till I get a aftermarket intake.

 

2007 Honda FIT Sport SSM. Going to try and stick to a Silver and Blue upgrades if time/money permit.

 

What paint did you use?...and how many coats?...wanna do this also..thanks!

 

that looks almost like mine, but i have all red letters. if you want it brighter layer first with primer and then like 3-4 thin coats of yellow!

 

How did y'all remove the vtec emblem? I really wanna paint my cover. My engine bay is boring haha.
