Default How do these valve covers look

I'd like some opinions on these. I bought the covers off ebay when I needed some new ones as they were the same price as all the nasty, used ones. They are powdercoated hugger orange.The coil packs have also been painted along with the brackets. They are going on a NBM car, but I was hoping it wouldn't clash too much.

i think it looks good, been thinking of doing little touches like that to my car, as soon as it gets taken off daily driver duty.

Yes mine was recently taken off daily driver duty. I think it will look sweet with that intake you can see in the background and the fuel rails that come with it. I'd like to have a really nice looking engine bay- something I've never had. I just hope it goes OK with my color. It doesn't have to match, but I don't want it to look like **** either.

It's mainly the NBM, and some polished stuff like that intake in the background. I hope it doesn't clash to bad. Any suggestions on how to prevent that? I guess we'll really be able to tell once they're on, so I'll be sure to post more pictures at that point in time.

If they don't look good on your car, they would match mine!!! I like them, but would need to see them next to your car's color.

The PP intake look pretty good in person? I mean good quality and what not? Are you doing any back to back testing from another intake?

Yeah, but it's getting a lot of **** at one time. Heads, cam, intake, exhaust, etc.
