sorry for the crappy picture, I cant find my camera right now and had to use my cell phone. Anyways, i used a dremel and some bondo to shave the 20 valve part of my valve cover. I also painted it black, yellow (matches my paint), blue, with a silver volvo elblem. I also added the motorsport emblem. I think it looks nice, I used spare paint I had laying around, so it was an entirely free mod. Those are my favorite kind. Hope you guys like, ill get some pics installed once I finish my evaporator and fix the seat bolt I f-ed up.

I would agree, however cf is $120 and this was free, and im pretty poor right now, so you take what you can, I think it will look good once installed

Looks good, but I don't know about the blue. The motorsport badge with a black background would look killer.

would have looked nice if you painted it yellow, like your car.

But it still looks nice, don't get me wrong.

well I added some yellow to tie it in, but im kinda themeing my car blue and yellow (like the swedish flag), I have blue vacuum hoses and will be adding blue samcos as well. I have blue brakes and an all blue LED interior conversion. So its not like the blue is entirely alone.

yup greg, you were indeed the inspiration, but I liked the volvo, I just hated the 20 valve part, if I get bored I may resand it and repaint it, cause it would be pretty easy.
