Added the Intake cover from College Hills Honda and new NGK 1R plugs. Engine area is getting there slowly but surely will look good in the end.

Thanks @webby
It looks like he got VMS.
HI @ekissinger1
Did your radiator cap come with a cover? How were you able to remove it? Please see my picture. Thanks

Hi @ekissinger1
I got the sickspeed, but if you see my picture, my radiator cover comes with a OEM black cover. Did yours have a OEM black cover like mine? I am unable to remove it and I don't feel like removing the whole cap just to remove the OEM black cover.

@Tak. I see now. You only have it sitting on there. Are you saying that it doesnt fit? Mine was not black. It was polished silver(steel).

Hi @ekissinger1
That black thing appears to be installed on my civic by Honda. I don't know about some other models though. The pic depicts that the aftermarket cover won't fit without removing the black cover. It sit them on top for a comparison.

@Tak. Did you try taking your radiator cap off and installing the Sickspeed over it?

I don't wanna do it unless I have to. If it aint broke, don't fix it.
I'm gonna wait until next time my mechanic check the radiator fluid.

@Tak As long as the engine is cool jus twist it off and install the new one. It will be a tight fit cause mine was tight to get on. Takes 5 min. If that. All u need is a allen wrench for that tiny *** set screw and DONE!

This plastic cover you guys are talking about, is it the one that attaches to the radiator support and to the top of the grill?
