I think what Kareem did, a nice flat black, professionally done interior is the best. Don't make it too flashy, its just asking to get vandalized or raced. A nice wing, new subtle lights, like the evo 7s Sir Lancelot mentioned, and maybe get some black racing seats. Oh and maybe some 16" rims.

I do plan on keeping the interior fairly simple... I don't like the ones with bright colored trim and dash pices. Kareem's is really nice and I will probably do a satin black on the upper pillars where the pieces are light gray stock. Definitely EVO VII tails!!

That's my thoughts too.... I still haven't completely ruled out 18's they are just alot more $$ for being not much bigger than a 17 which is around $300 less for the set.

I am still looking for more suggestions on painting my valve cover.

Those Motegis are nice! Well, I figure the price between 17 and 18 in rims is a big deciding factor anyway.

I like 16", no risk of rubbing, lightweight and still look good. Go to big, and you make the car slower and ride like crap.

Yeah, well I have the OZ 15's and a 16 wouldn't be worth the change. So 17's for sure then!

Valve Cover Suggestions PLEASE!

Yeah... and it looks nice. But Blue isn't an option .... I just want to see what others think of my idea and if they don't like it what other suggestions are out there. If all else fails I will try my idea, and if it looks like crap I'll stirp it and start over the next weekend. Paint is pretty cheap .

mixing more then 3 colors can be very tricky. it will either look awesome or horrible. if your willing to take the risk then take it. i did and i think my car came out amazing.

Thanks for all the help, don't mean to put down any of your ides, they are all good . I just want as many diffenet opinions as possible.

Now people, lets get some opinions on my valve color idea.... keep in mind though the VC will be low-gloss black, I am planning to paint the intake manifold gloss Red.
