So in the first Honda VC pic, the magical lighting made the valve cover a different red than the metal bar sitting behind it, and yet a different red than the cap on the VHT can itself? That's some magical lighting, right there.

If you were to paint two identical panels, one with VHT and one with Krylon, then photograph them side by side in identical lighting, the VHT would be darker than the Krylon. If you disagree with that, then a trip to the opthamologist is in order.

To rosedaleny and carbonXe: it won't fit with a stock hood prop. I don't know if it will work with NST props. But I know you're good to go with a Redline. Thinking about adding it to the site...

YOU posted 2 different pics from 2 different users using 2 different camera in 2 different lighting conditions....

HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and your crying about color???

my eyes are fine but you need a better monitor and some know how in how lighting plays tricks on color... i proved it that WITH YOUR OWN PHOTO OF YOUR OWN VC...lmao

the only way to do it is to have all 3 VCs in the same shot or both VCs photographed with the same camera, same lighting, and using an OEM as comparison ..lol common sense would have told u that by now...

Jesus, man. I have seen VHT right next to Krylon. The VHT is darker. Loosen the deathgrip. Let it go.

Damn, I'll keep my eyes open, I still need to pick up the radiator plate, plus I've got a stock shifter to send you still if you still need it lol. I'd be very interested in the near future to pick up the engine cover if you decide to maybe make one for a tC w/ a stock hood prop .

Np, but the fuse panel cover and battery tie-down seem a little over kill..Maybe if there was like an AEM tie-down it wouldn't look like so much, but the cover and strut bar mounts look great.

Thanks...yeah...I just painted it because I didn't want to pay 30 bucks for a damn tie down. That's 1/3 of fog lights right there. But thanks for input. I'll see if a different color (black) would look better.

I'm in Edison =D
