i would have rubber texturized the cover, including the letters, then hand painted the letters with testors, whatever color you wanted.
but it looks good though.
its funny how cars with covers (i.e, my vw) people take the covers off and trash them, but cars without covers, people search for something to cover it up :P
in my opinion, it looks kind of nice, but not as nice as a polished manifold. but as me and kyle found out. polishing a manifold takes a LOT of work.
and a little valve cover goodness
