Has anyone painted their manifold cover or bought an aftermarket one? I would like to see what it looks like on the engine bay. Does anyone sell them for the V? It makes me jealous when I see a Honda Fit with a clean looking one!

That's what I'm talking about. I'd like to get a carbon fiber one even if I have to purchase it, they look clean IMO. I don't understand why you can buy it for the Fit and not the V as of now.

do you have to use high heat paint, or just regular plastic paint? that looks sweet though

You're looking for a cosmetic finish - just buy some carbon fiber weave cosmetic tape/film and paste it on your plastic engine cover. The real structural stuff is about as interesting as grey playdough.

I'm thinking of adding some color under the hood. Good idea I like the why you painted yours.
