Ewww underbody lights... haha.

Cool idea about painting the cover... the possibilities here are only limited by how patient of a masker you are. Is there some kind of sealer/primer combo you can use that would enable you to paint the cover with car paint? I wouldnt mind a meteorite metallic cover.

Try to find some VHT products, they do a ton of engine enamels and have been around for years.

I'm thinking of doing something like this, although I want to paint the underside of my pistons. I'm also thinking of painting a miniature version of the Last Supper on the inside of my catalytic converter. The guy at Jiffy Lube is really going to appreciate all my hard work.

Seriously people, this is ridiculous.

word. Make sure to post up pictures when you're done

I like the flames on the truck valve cover

VHT makes GREAT paint for engine compartments. Whatever you do, just make sure to take your time and DO IT RIGHT. If not, it will look FUGLY!!

Airbox and Intake done, even with leaving the logo and lettering along ( which I personally like ) it looks at least better then stock. ( again my opinion )

Going to see if I can find the exact match to the cars exterior color and redo, but for now I like it

Very nice. Now you need a polished TRD oil cap to really set off the valve cover.
