after seeing Kirkevil's thread on painting the valve covers I decided it's time to clean up my engine bay a little, especially since everyone was complaining about how dirty it was at the meet.:-? But I'd say the valve covers were pretty dirty.(Untouched on the left, partially prepped one on the right)

And how they look currently...

Looks good Vinnie. Now take some elbow grease and cleaner to the rest of the engine bay! ;)

This is by far the cleanest the engine bay has been since I've owned the car.

Looks good. I agree with the sticker delete, but to each his own.

Nope. It was an admin-induced do-over.

Yea, they're off in the pics because I was cleaning them. They are definitely a lot less noticeable now since everything is black which I like.
