• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

would this look tacky to you guys?

i have a 99 GTP with an L67 in it i will eventually redo the gaskets in the top end of the motor but untill then whould it look bad if i just painted the front valve cover and not the back its not really noticeable but if you were at a car show and saw a car with just the one painted would you think the owner is dumb and lazy? just wanna know what you all think
 


nah i dont think its that big of a deal, but if your doing show quality paint both but smooth the front thats what im planning on doing

Yes.
 
i mean the cars not a show car i just go there sometimes i just wanna make the engine bay look a little better thats all
 
if you can get to the back might as well paint both, and just replace both VC gaskets while your at it. what color are you thinking? beside you really dont see the back VC unless your like staring at the engine
 


i was thinking a good pontiac red color but im open to suggestions the car is black with a grey contrast
 
I didn't paint my rear cover. Painted the front, and unless you craned your head back there, you couldn't see it, Even with the EGR delete. So no, it's not tacky. Now, if you do end up removing the rear valve-cover, then yeah, go ahead and paint it to match. But trust me, you'll be fine with just painting the front until you can do the rear.
 




i plan to do the rear valve cover soon when i do the LIM but in the mean time i just want to do a quick job and eddie i will i just got wrap up a few more projects get all the pics together then itll be up there its not as an extensive build as yours but its been quite a journey
 
Does your signature have a spectre drop in filter listed as a modification?

Why not do your LIM NOWWWW and do both valve covers at the same time? I don't understand your logic...
 
no my sig has been updated but it wont change!!!!!!! this new site is confusing lol ive done every maintenance thing you could do to a car besides the lim, i had to bring this car back from a neglected GP to a proud one lol im kinda at the point where i wanna enjoy the car before i start more big projects
