thx chico much appreciated. but yea i hate the valve cover as well. i have many plans for this baby and getting the valve cover chromed out is one of them. the only reason it is that way now is because i got it from my brother when he got his mazda3. what a loser! i will show you guys some new pics when i get the chrome cover and some rims and tires.
Figured I'd throw some pics of my cars up. First is my woman's 03 Pro5 auto.

And, here's my baby. Just picked her up last week. Sold the Jeep for her. My blue 03 Pro5 with the 5speed! All stock for now, but, I've got a wishlist going. Magnaflow catback is waiting in the garage, rockblocker yellow fog covers in the mail.

Holly crap... i just got my ass handed to me on a ******* platter.
So i'm on the Southern State Turnpike in NY on my way into Queens and I see an Evo speed by me at about 70 miles and hour while I'm doin about 60 and i say to myself, "Let's have some fun with him". There's a moderate amount of traffic around and I catch up to hima and we start dippin in and out of traffic. I was all over this kid!!! My '01 ES actually stood up to him in the handling department (I'm pretty sure my Tokico Shocks, Eibach Springs, Ractive (Toucan) Strut Tower Bar and Hankook Ventus Tires had something to do with that). So now I'm feeling kinda bold cause I can hear my "Newly Installed Turbo kit going hard. But then we finally get to some open road, just what i thought i had been waiting for, and we're both neck and neck and doing about 110. By this point my balls have shriveled up and I'm just waiting for him to back down before I have a heart attack. But he didn't so i didn't! We both accelerate. 115 mph he's pulling away, 117 still pulling away. I got close to about 120 when i realized I've never in my life seen a car accelerate like that after 100 mph.
Fun! But i see that i still have a ways to go. Still Fun none the less.

Nice, an ES with all the options. I'd suggest the sedan front lip and the sideskirts/rear lip.had this car for a couple weeks. still trying to get to know it and reading up as much info as possible on how to take care of her.
(cheers2)
