Thanks Mike, yeah the RBC manifold, throttle body are red, my oil cap, battery tie down, fender washers etc. I'm planning on dressing up the engine a little bit more.

Nice! The intake seems to fit well with the RBC installed. Are you going to paint the valve cover too? I've seen a red IM and a red Valve cover (K20) on an old civic before and it looked nice. Here's on on an Integra:

Also, why did you change wheels all of a sudden?

Not a bad idea, I would like to paint the valve cover as well (However I'm not sure how to or where to go to do this?) Yeah that integra looks sick. I changed wheels cause I wanted to go bigger from 17's to 18's and one of my crew members owns a tire shop; so he gave me a great deal for the wheels and tires :) Dar-Dar
 
You'll need to remove the wiper cowl and the cross member beneath it to remove the valve cover. Did you paint the IM yourself?
 
Definitely! So it will be color matched, at least. I think it will look awesome. You should've ordered the wrinkle red Injen instead so it will match your color scheme. Lol.
 
Maybe wrinkle red will look good for the valve cover too?

I know LOL but I was one of the first ones who got the intake so the wrinkle red wasn't an option back then LOL.
 
looking good armo.... any feedback on differences since you've installed the rbc etc? New tune?

Hey Webby I haven't re-tuned it yet as I'm sure the A/F ratio needs calibration. But let me tell you the difference is night and day, car has a lot of power and a lot of room for more petal. It definitely feels like you're driving a different car, you can hear the intake a lot more, and going uphill is not a problem at all. Overall, I'm very pleased with the swap!!! I will be adding a throttle body spacer next week.
 
Sweet ride!! Hopefully I can pick up an RBc if my girl doesn't find out lol but well see;) would I need a tune if I got the RBc? I only have a dp and takeda intake.
