just did this took all aftermoon, took some pics tell me what u guys think, btw thats a K&N V6 intake in a i4, one of my friend gave it to me. tell me what u guys think, n there more to come to make it look better(header n red radiator hose)

I used VHT wrinkles paint, love it, easy n come out nice like what i wanted, next is i gonna paint my intake( but havent decide on what color yet)
oh forgot the relay cover i was painting it black then i add like bit of red for fun.
yeah maybe a header later on but too much work bc i have to mob the tC header to fit then relocate my cat, too much for something i dont really need.

the vvti panel looks a bit weird the way it sits.. doesnt really flow.. not sure how i feel about the paint yet, i guess its good for the ruggedness..

what are the last few pics of?

oil catch can, bc vvt-i sit flat it will hit the thingy behind it so i had to bent it

How did you put the v6 intake on i4?
Also nice job looks good, except i dont like the vvti thing sticking up like that

u just need a 60degree pipe then yur good, i cant really do anything to the VVT-I plate, bc the coil packs is really high at the back, if i put it flat it will hit, then when it hot it can make some damage, so i play it the safe way

So you just change the pipe that comes with it to a 60 degree pipe?

I say...
Put a red plate behind the VVTi plate... The open cut out makes it look weird because you can see everything inside...
Keep the shield and radiator hose black... don't want too much color, it'll start to look odd vs clean

I have been trying to figure out how to do the oil catch can on my V6. i had it on my old integra and i didnt expect it to catch a lot of oil on the vacuum line, but it did, and did a really good job too. I actually had to upgrade to the bigger ones because it filled up too fast.
