    Valve Cover colors?

    i am getting my valve covers done on my rb20. just wondering what you guys think i should do for colors? was thinking two valve covers in purple and leaving coil cover black. im open to ideas. heres some pics of my car.




    note the back two rims are going to be the same size as the fronts this year and the purple is getting redone in a lighter purple more like the hks purple. Also have some white aswell in the interior

    Thanks for the help

    i would go with all purple, unless your rims were two-tone black & purple then it would flow together

    This might help you decide, although 90% of the pics are SR20s http://zilvia.net/f/chat/126132-engi...ay-photos.html

    looks like most of them are matching the outside of the car. i could do all purple. the timing belt cover cant be powder coated correct? if i went all purple i would need to do my strut bar mounts different color. white?

    you can powder coat your timing belt cover mine is powder coated and also better to keep your strut bars original color (chrome) and dont wanna have have all colors in ur bay, thats just my opinion! at the end of the day its still ur ride and do it the way you wish to.

    i thought it was plastic. also i am not powdercoating the bar its self, but the mounts at the end. it is a cusco and they are blue. so that wont flow at all.
