Installed some blue hoses
I got some blue hoses today from Hose Techniques and it came out pretty nice. Some of them were really easy to change but others gave me problems since they haven't been touch in almost 10 years. The hardest was getting it on the hood prop but then i decided to lube it with some WD-40 and it went right on. I kinda wanna do the coolant and radiator hoses blue but thats like another $200+ and i don't even know if they will be the same shade blue. Here are some pics of it:

Great job. Great look. What were the inside diameters of the hoses you used? And the total length you needed of each size?

As for the valve cover i am gonna try to paint it asap, any DIY on here for them?
And what do you mean as the seals on the fipk?

Ahh you dont need a DIY for painting something man. I would just use some paint stripper and a wire brush and strip off the red really good. Then sand it down smooth and shoot it with paint.
Also, the FIPK heatshield has weatherstrip type seals all around the edges of it. This is what actually seals the heatshield to the hood so hot air cant really get in. Your probably getting a fair amount of the hot engine bay air in there without them. Here is mine.

That looks absolutely terrible. I'm typically not one to hate , but something has to be said. That's just rice man. To each his own, its not my car but its stuff like this that gives hondas a bad name.
