The air box and spark plugs are a bit over the top IMO.

yeah dude thats pretty sick...i might invest in that R18 Cover from JapanParts.com then do the engine cover orange...

its actualy red but it looks orange cause the sun is so bright down here in Fl. in the morning.

And I just took the valve cover off and taped then painted and then I reinstalled it. then took the wire cover and shaved the "HONDA" off and bondo'd and wet sanded it smooth then painted that. Then reinstalled it. Then took the coil-pack heat sheild off and painted it aswell. wasnt realy hard I was just bored. You should see wat I did to my intake. I is just about as close to a CAI as you can get with stock parts for a R18.
