Yeah, not liking it that much. As long as you think it looks good, thats all that matters though. Mine is dull looking with flat black valve covers and a bronze vented coil cover.

The colours look as though they would go with the rest of the vehicle, but the pcv plumbing is too complex..

However, it looks better than some colours I have had on my vehicle lol..

WOW. I am surprised at how immature some of these posts are. No one posts pics for negative criticism. This thread reminds me of high school all over again. lol

Thanks for criticism))) At Russia are not enough nissan 200sx s13, approximately 200-250 cars to all Russia, and all change CA on SR because all consider CA as the unreliable engine. I'm first have dared to paint and restore CA the engine. And where i can find logo "NICO club" in the vector drawing?

Super clean carnothin like the look of a sweet japanese car with euro type plates

I think the engine looks good but I agree that if you painted the letters on the coilpack cover white then it would really pop. Apart from that the bay looks too oem but I can understand sometimes local regulations might not allow for too much modding. Whatever the case it looks good anyways. Props for going against the flow.
