Cleaned my engine bay and got a new emblem

[Brandoncb7]

I cleaned my engine bay a few days ago and i'm not done with it yet but here it so far. I have been away from the house alot juggling two jobs so I never have time to get everything done. I kept wanting a big H like the newer model Hondas and finally just put one on my car. I'm dumb I know but I wanted it. anyways here a few pics. I also made a grill for it but I did so after having a few drinks and it has a couple of crooked pieces so i'm not even about to show it just yet.

Thanks for the compliments everyone. I was just joking about my second post lol. I cleaned the engine like the other thread said to. You put Gunk engine degreaser on it and let it sit for like 20 minutes, rinse it off, and then go back and spray EVERYTHING with Meguires tire foam. I ran out of daylight doing it and i'm still going to go back and get it once more. I'm not happy with it yet. I missed a bunch of spots but I was doing touch ups in the dark with a drop light. The valve cover isn't fully stripped either. I had just put a new valve cover gasket on it before I moved back from Texas and haven't really had "extra" money to buy a new gasket and fully polish/paint it. The more I look at the pics I posted the more I feel like it just doesn't look good enough. The heat shield I plan on removing and painting but I haven't been able to get all of the bolts loose and don't really want to break them off. Any ideas? PB Blaster maybe?

Cool you did it the way I do!! Sweet!!

yeah, try the PB blaster and try to work it in, then spray more and repeat. Good luck man.

I have to wait to get some more money now dammit. I went and got me a new headlight and got some paint and silicone so maybe in a few hours i'll have some blackhoused lights. I got me some projectors off of a Nissan 300ZX too so in the near future I might have me some on Honda. I have a CAI comming for x-mas too so there's a few new things going on and I am happy as hell.
