Which color to go with?

civicsifg2 · 08-20-2008, 07:42 PM

soooooo just looking for some opinions, what do you prefer and think i should go with.

A) stick with the already installed JDM wrinkle red valve cover or
B) swap it out for the badass looking black wrinkle cover

Sexy6Speed · 08-20-2008, 07:49 PM

ugh im debating the same thing. wrinkle black ftw!

07gen8Civic · 08-20-2008, 08:26 PM

Jeez that is a tough one. I would have to say the red it accents the carbon fiber.

SpeedDemon · 08-20-2008, 08:28 PM

thats an easy one, go with the blue.

02civicsi · 08-20-2008, 09:17 PM

Go with either the black or blue then sell me the red one.

civicsifg2 · 08-21-2008, 02:00 AM

haha the blue one is for sale, has to be either red or black to go with my car theme. whichever one i dont keep outta the two is for sale also

InfamousN · 08-21-2008, 02:07 AM

black!

1chin3s3_b0i · 08-21-2008, 02:12 AM

black FTW!

LordDurden · 08-21-2008, 06:19 PM

Black unless you really are going after the "stand out" factor. I like subtle better, so that is my vote.

02civicsi · 08-21-2008, 07:02 PM

Sounds like you want to keep the JDM red valve cover.

civicsifg2 · 08-21-2008, 07:07 PM

haha i just dont think i feel like going through the whole taking off and putting on deal. last time i did it i sheared 5 of the bolts and went without my car for a couple days lol

civicsifg2 · 08-21-2008, 07:08 PM

i guess ill just keep the red and be selling the black and blue

Are they both(black & blue) from a K20Z3 & how much?

civicsifg2 · 08-21-2008, 07:16 PM

had my torque wrench set to the spec in the manual and bam they just sheared right off. maybe my torque wrench needs calibrating or something. when i got new ones i just tightened them a little with a reg wrench.

***ThaJazz*** · 08-21-2008, 07:23 PM

Black. Sell me the red and be done with it!

Did you use an inch lb torque wrench?

civicsifg2 · 08-21-2008, 07:41 PM

yup sure did, i even set it lower than spec and tried it on other bolts and still sheared, thats how i ended up with 5 out of the 6 sheared

02civicsi · 08-21-2008, 08:33 PM

That's just weird because I used my ich lb torque wrench without shearing any of the bolts.

civicsifg2 · 08-21-2008, 08:41 PM

might have been the wrench then
