Shows what you know

They have several coats of clear on them but for some reason they look washed out in the pictures. They actually don't even look the right shade of red in these pictures. In person they definitely have a darker and "wet" look to them.

Valve covers look good, but the pictures look washed out on my end too. Try a tripod, and a longer exposure.

I'm not seeing any ownage on either side. The covers look good, red wouldn't have been my direction, but ya know. Parbreak and Hawk' both have good advice, just dont let the 2 clash lol

Valve covers look good to me man. Get a few more red accents to your engine bay and it'll really turn itself out.
