no lectio the red was not on the valve covers before. after i detailed the engine bay i thought to myself most new ferraris have red accents on teh valve covers. so i had some high temp. red paint that you get at a auto parts store and just took my time and the result was pretty nice i think. well worth the time. and as for speeding tickets, well i dont really know what to say about those. some of you know i ride a hayabusa and drive a rx-7 turbo as a daily driver. and to my credit i do not have any speeding tickets. i know when and where to control myself. and i know when and where i can be stupid. also a good radar detector helps to.
