Expect to pay approx $125-200 to get your valve cover done. Most shops will take 1-2 weeks to get your cover chromed. If you hit the place at the right time, you MIGHT have a chance for your 2 day turnaround.
Look around and see if you can buy a used valve cover from a wrecked protege. You can use that to get chromed and when it comes back, just swap em out.
scott from SH polishing does it. not sure if he's on this forum but I know for sure he's on protegeclub.com. he has pics and prices listed (plus he's located in western North Carolina)
