I'm really starting to consider blue. It looks good. I guess it depends on which color blue it'll be.

 

Bump for more thoughts!!!!

 

What about this.....

Order the PDX suspension set in blue, then just match the valve cover with the bar set. I think that would look good. What does everyone think?

 

or u can do this

no offense to you or your bro, but DO NOT do that. i've already warned nextgen about this, but the valve cover is steel, and when you remove the stock silver paint to polish it, it removes any and all protection, so it will rust over time. if you want the shiny look, i'd suggest getting it jet hot coated (the shiny stuff) or chrome coated. just don't polish is the traditional way as you would say aluminum

 

make sure you use high temp primer paint, and a hi temp clear coat.

 

I wasn't too crazy about the polish look anyways... I might do it a blue color especially if I get the PDX suspension set in blue. Plus I thought about getting the hose kit from RRM in blue to make it all match.

So it's basically down to blue or black. Not sure which way I wanna go. What you think?

 

My $.02, depending on the color of the car, if you are looking at dressing up, should be a color to compliment the car.

 

It's thunder gray with gunmetal rims, tinted windows, blackhousing tails and headlights, painted black grille...

So basically it's gray and black...just look at My Ride!!!

 

not to burst your bubble...askin all the mechanics in my shop and the parts department...the mitsu valve cover is made out of alluminium not steel...sorry to be

 

that's the heaviest aluminum I've ever handled... try this, take a magnet and put it on the side, it sticks = steel, no stick = aluminum, I'm with Psycho on this one, I know mine is deff. steel

 

Back on the subject ...

Polished look is out, not crazy about it. I think it would come down between black or blue.

Would the black blend in to much? I have Kamikaze high-temp black header with downpipe coming in a week or two...would it be too much black in the engine?

 

they high temp black is going to turn grey quick just to let u kno

 

What the header will?

Oh well, at least it'll match the car then if it goes gray

 

sorry, i didnt read the initial post. if you are looking to keep a clean racing look (all the black and gray) or put a little color in to show it up some. I would go with the blue. At one time, many years ago, i had a stupid idea of color coding parts (hot=red, cold=blue).
