haha what's up with that giant Honda flag on the hood?

Nice! they look great.. I like the tires on the red E.

haha what's up with that giant Honda flag on the hood?

Hmm. Maybe and this is just a guess, it has something to do with the Element being a Honda?

my buddy has the same JDM arrow, think thats what he called it, he carries it everywhere and takes photos of it of other cars, people holding it(including my 3 year old with a thumbs up), and where ever he cruises too on his car. Good stuff.

Caught about three familiar Elements and people [Hi guys]. Looks like a good, solid meet. See you all when I head north.:-D

I just need the black dip stick from Japan to complete the look. All black and
red under the hood.

you should take off the covers and replace with CF; people will think you've swapped a genuine K20A motor :roll::lol:

Yeah that is the correct valve cover. For you car it should bolt right on. On mine, I had to get a new hose clamp for the vacuum hose on the right side of the cover. The hose is much smaller than the red valve covers pipe. I used a little soap to get it on, but then the original clamp would not work. There are no holes for the side pipes to screw to either, but I dont think its a big deal. Couple of cable ties and she is good to go!! You should check some of the shops that are near you down there in SoCal. I bet you can find a better price than that, and they might even have it in stock. 99% of the places I spoke with, said they wouldn't even order it until I paid for it. And since its coming from Japan, the wait can be months. Let me know if you need any more info.

I was wondering if there is a anything else i needed to install the valve cover and if not is there a how to to installing it. Thanks

I like the light bar on this one. Any one know where I can source one?

that's the brockolli(sp) light bar that he sell on this sight

I was wondering if there is a anything else i needed to install the valve cover and if not is there a how to to installing it. Thanks

You will need some Honda valve cover sealant (I have a bunch left over!!)
I reused my gasket. You will need the Helms manual. It has all the info on how
to take off the valve cover, and all the info to put it back on. I would NOT do
this without it. There are very specific torque specs for certain bolts/nuts, and
very specific patterns on how to tighten the bolts/nut. You will need a torque
wrench that will do under 15lbs per square inch. It is really easy to do if you
have everything you need at hand. Took about an hour total to take off the
new one and put on the new one. I went slow, to make sure everything was
perfect. Let me know if you have any questions.
