Well, i'm sick of this friggen cold weather, and was just dying to do something to my 01. Since i work at crappy tire in the shop i'm able to use it afterhours, so i desided to do some painting

I think it turned out great. A few blemishes, but i think it's alot better then spending $xxx on a powdercoated one.

Here's the pics, questions, comments, advice, anything is welcome.

next project is to take that damn airbox out and just have the filter there

That looks real nice! Now you just have to clean the engine bay.

Blemishes are a bit of chipping near one sparkplug tube, and it's not completely smooth.
I've been looking for an injector cover, but have not found one that's cheap enough (i live in canada, and no one in canada seems to sell them haha, so i'd have to get stuck with getting one shipped from the states, which would be a PITA at the border with fees and such)
And yeh, i need to clean the engine bay. maybe if it got above 10 degees C i'd be out doing that, but apparentally winter wants to hang on

Thanks for the comments guys and gal
