Lowering first imo. If I now see the pics of my car without the lowering...eeks what a gap. (and now i want it lower again, but €€€€)

Same here- I would like to go lower (I lowered my car about 4cm) but I dont do it because of the streets here- I wont like it if I cannot drive more than 25kph due to the streets, and 4 is enuff for me

I had my engine cleaned professionally and I painted the valve cover, it all looks like new! I can really recommend to paint the valve cover, pretty easy and it looks like new. But most of you guys here have pretty new cars so I don't think your covers look so bad as mine did...
It didn't came out exactly the way I wanted (the color red came out a bit to bright for my taste) but it looks pretty good, wadda ya say?

before:

after:

Oh yeah, I painted the heatshield too
And does this make me a ricer for going for the red "Type R" look? If so :finger:

What´s up, riceboy? Good job with the valve cover! Looks great. My valve cover is already red (ATR valve cover) so I don´t have to paint it.

Thanks guys,

At first I wanted to paint it black again but the stock paint is a bit wrincled (sp) and I couldn't find that kind of paint anywhere and I didn't want a glossy black cover, so red it was

BTW, what do you think my first "real" must be: lowering or an exhaust setup? I think I'm leaning more to lowering first but I'm not quite sure yet..

I would lower it first with a good spring/shock/strut bar combination because A) it´ll look much better and B) your car will handle much better. Personally I´m not even going to buy a new exhaust system in the future....
