That would be impossible to keep clean... But it would look realy nice. I don't think I've ever seen anyone brave enough to try white trim under the hood.

BTW, BabyBlue, why haven't you rested them on the engine and taken some pics for us yet...?

if you want a white valve cover... i have this one for you

OMG, someone actually had the b@lls to try a white VC. Like Pat mentioned, you have to place them on top of the heads so we can see the overall effect in the engine bay. Ya, cleaning might be a real bear unless they had a real good smooth coating of clear which would make things easier in case of small spills and the like and be durable enough from those other more corrosive materials.
White VC's .... I'll be dipped!!!!

good they got home finally

haven't got a chance to take a pic beside my intake and stuff but here's more closer shots.
I was not a fan of the red/green flake thing but in real they are not so obvious, it looks like greay flakes but once you check it closer they are in fact green/red/blue flakes. It's probably the camera that makes it look like that, I was shocked when I looked at the pictures.lol
it really looks like the second pic
Anyways, I still think it looks good

I'll take some more this week end with the fuel rails (same colour) and polished intake

im going to give my honest oppinion, i think that looks like a paint job that should be on a 6 year old girls tri-cycle i was hoping they were gonna come out better maybe onece you get them on they will look better, im not trying to be mean, just my oppinion

well thanks for your honest opinion
but like I said they aren't really like that in real
The flakes aren't almost even noticable. Camera makes them stick out more. Don't know why.

understandable.... can't wait to see them on your sexy engine

The flash is reflecting the sparkles. Try getting them in a well lit place and turn the flash off. I bet you'll get a more acurate pic.
