                I painted mine up to match the car. Looks pretty hot. Now I just need a camera so I can post some eye candy.

Then I will paint my valve covers the same with red sripes or red with black stripes. I cnat wait to see how it looks. Ill have them on soon as I do my AR stage 3 head install.

                    An accent color then wetsanding and a buff would look really good. Not to say that they don't look good already. It would just bump it up a knotch.
