Dinzdale...I wanna paint mine the same as my exterior color, do you know if your painter just masked off the Vtec part? Or do those pull off?

i masked it off myself and brought it to him...i put a piece of blue painters tape over the whole thing...then used a hobby knife to cut off the excess...and also i removed the chrome (H)...

hey danny any idea what procedure he used in painting them? i did mine not too long ago but i noticed today that its peeling in some spots on the plastic..

also where do you have all of this hidden stuff at..what wires?

all the painter did was spray...i had them done when i got the bodykit painted....i did all the prep work...took me hours to sand off the texture to get them perfectly smooth...definitely worth it tho....

alot of the wires that are hidden were simply disconnected and rerouted underneath stuff...for example i rewired my fans with the wires on the bottom of the fans instead of on the top....the radiator overflow is hidden behind the front bumper....cruise control is gone...i forget alot of the small stuff...but involves mostly lengthening or shortening wires...rerouting etc...

just for the record, the "3.0 vtec" piece does come off, you will see where it is connected if you flip the hole piece over. I pulled it off to paint mine.
