Gotta love the subtle DIY mods.

I'll probably steal your idea when I get some free time.

I want to paint the rest of my covers white.


And i threw in some red felt to match the interior.

Looks good but I doubt the paint will hold up on the oil cap.

he would need high temp engine enamel for the oil cap

But you left the brake fluid cap black? I painted mine in OEM VR paint. Was not a fan of the odd yellow cap either.

Nice, i painted mine red. then replaced the oil one with a red rotor shaped cap. i like the felt idea. i might have to do that.

How hard was it to get those 2 pieces of the firewall out?

iTrader: (4)

not that hard, i used just scissors and my hands and just worked it a little probably took 5-10 minutes overall and helps clean up the engine bay.

Those are the fender linings which are easy to take out. The firewall part is a real pain in the ***.

I used blue high temp caliper paint. Even did the radiator cap(hard to see in this shot) and it's been over three years with no issues on any of them. Except on the oil of course as I have another cap there. Sorry for the crappy pics!

Not bad, not bad at all... anything beats the yellow that's for sure.

I used generic high temp paint from autozone for mine as well, primered, painted, ran out of clear coat so put them back in the car with the intention of clear coating them later.

Now 2 years later and lots traffic under the hood from maintenance and other stuff . The caps still look the same. Actually shocked me lol, not bad for a $4 mod .
