Looks good bro; to be completely honest, this is the first attempt at customizing an Evo's engine bay color, that actually turned out good. Add a couple ARC things like UICP, manifold cover, valve cover, and oil cap; and you're set.

I have to ask, how did you make the manifold heat shield all shiney?

oil cap is done, heat shield, brillo pad, and alo of elbow grease... then i polished it... i have to finish polishing the rest of the parts, but, it doesnt cost money, just time...

no powder coating, just a very good primer, and factory paint... so far i have about a 4 days into my engine bay, and 110 dollars invested.... lot of hard work...

the only thing i got stupid with is every bolt is factory color matched....
