Little mods to my street car

A friend did this valve cover for me. Think it looks pretty cool.

Not done cleaning up the trunk but the cage works how it should and the sub still sounds great could even sound better.

Looks good Luke. I like how you are keeping things simple but effective with this build.

I guess its called Engine Turned.

I need some SS bolts on my heat shield may have to pick some up tomorrow.

She has 86k road raced and drag raced and the wife drives it half the time with 2 kids so simple is better for this car. You could say this car gets beat on.

What is actually the process involved with getting a valve cover done like that?

That looks nice!

This is probably the best looking Honda valve cover ever...

Guess it sounds good Kinda of like a type S with out the surge.

Think he machines the top smooth then chucks it into a tool that is programed to make that pattern.

Looks good, Lucas!

I like how you put the cage through the sub box. If you want more sound, pull the stock 8" sub out and mod it with a 10". I did this to mine and it sounds WAY better!

I like it - perfect part for an engine-turned finish. The process can be pretty simple:

Like most things that look easy, I imagine there is a lot of skill involved to get a good result.

Nope, I wish I can get a valve cover that pretty someday. But for now I'll just admire Myles' work
