Anyone painted 5.5gen valve covers?
I have a 03 titanium edition and want to dress up the engine bay a little bit. Has anyone painted their VC's? I know a bunch of 4th and 5th gens have but I've never seen a 5.5 gens painted. So if you have any pictures post 'em up! (I'm not trying to make my car a test dummy for this )

Only if you dont have the engine cover and i have only seen them painted red and blue some people just clean them good and get something done with the engine cover.

Of course people have. Some even painted them gold.

Since you have a Ti version, paint them Ti, WV2.
