Cleaned up the engine bay

I decided to clean up the engine bay by adding a little color to it. I did this the other night before a car show I went to. Turned out pretty good for doing it at 11:00pm.

It was a simple and much needed $11 mod.

That's one great and smart thinking (looks good too). Proves that not all mods need to be expensive . What material is it made of? Is it aftermarket?

Dude, you mean you didn't see the special that was run last week? Oh man, you missed out. Hey, that $11 spray paint made my car so much faster. I think it may be faster than a "Powered by Honda" sticker.

Don't forget the Type "R" sticker. That adds another 80 HP. J/K good looking mod.

It should do fine with the heat. That area doesn't seem to get that hot. Just in case, I did use the high temp primer and paint. Primer good to 1000 degrees, paint good to 500 degrees. That cover should never get anywhere near that temp. If it does, then my car would be sucking in some seriously hot air and I would have some other issues to deal with.
