thanks for the compliments guys. it def looks tons better than it did. i made a 2500 twin turbo sticker for it at work but i made the font way too big so it wouldnt fit. so i will make a smaller one in black and throw it on there. but def not a bad job for my first time painting a valve cover. i do have the plug cover but i cant seem to find those elusive screws....

Definitely paint up some other smaller pieces in the bay, and clean it up. Looks like a good start though.

should've cleaned your engine bay instead
but the covers do look pretty in there.
