show off your valve covers

Ironice that this thread resurfaces right when I finished mine. Okay, so it isn't on my car yet but I am doing some work on it right now and I don't want to screw it up. Sandblasted, powdercoated red and clearcoated:

I know it looks a little orange but I assure you it is almost a perfect match for classic red. Sorry for the blurry pic... my arms are tired from all the sanding to get the letters to stand out...

My valve cover is still stock and dirty so I am using the engine cover.

I painted my valve cover black with a blue mica then polished the letters and clear coated it several times. Its the same paint that is on my hood, roof, wing and rims. Then I traded my red p5 strut bar for a silver MSP strut bar and painted the center body color.

I blew a heater hose and sprayed antifreeze all over so excuse the mess in the picture.

My Jet-Hot coated OBX now has the same patina as your header - you can see where the hot-spots are. Prescott is a beautiful place - right up there with Sedona (first)
 
Nice use of the kartboy sticker Bill :D First time I've seen that. Oh, and bala... don't sweat that valve cover. That's how they rock that s*** back in japan. jdm son
