So I wasn't liking how the valve cover looked. My friend and I decided to polish it to bring the life back into it. I think it turned out a lot better. Looks great too. Check out some pics...

Before.......

It needs more work - keep at it. I did mine before I was introduced to power tools, I spent a lot of time on that cover by hand...

yeah I couldnt see attachments either, till I searched a couple days ago. Try accessing the site from the address http://www.nicoclub.com instead of the usual address.

Pictures should work fine then

Yeah, we used a drill with the polishing wheel attachments. It's alright for now, we'll end up doing it again sometime. I just wanted it to look great and not dull. My expectations of it were not even close. Like looking at 2 different valve covers. Thanks though for the comments.

Looks good....we should make it look better at some point. Way better than it was tho.

Only problem is we have to make everything else look good now.

Nah, I liked the brush aluminum look. Although it might look cool painted, I dunno. You have a hot S13 btw!
