Default Valve Covers Done. What do you think?

Finished my Valve Cover project today. Just wondering what everyone thinks of my undershood mods.

I made the strut tower brace mettalic red to give a little contrast in color. I've been thinking of doing the electrical conduit in red to match a little more.

Red is a good contrast if there is other areas of red in the engine compartment.

interesting color choice for a black car, but it looks like you did a nice job. I've never seen the coolant tank and power steering fluid reservoir painted to match - bonus points for originality.

Very nice job with the blue paint but the red needs to go . I thought the red wire looms would look good as well till I installed about 4 or 5 ft of it and I knew then I was makeing a big mistake . Go buy a small pc of the red and put in the engine bay before you spend alot of time on the search for the sizes you will need.JMO

I like it, might look even better if that strut brace matched too.
