Jim get at me when you want a shaved, I want a lettered one and I have a shaved.

I have had 3 customish valve covers over the years.

The first was this Powder coated one that fades from black to red. Its real dirty in this pic, but looked great when clean.

Next was this valve cover that was stripped of all paint. I used an automotive paint stripper. A few hours, a brush and some water and it ended up looking like this. I really liked this on too.

The current valve cover is this one. Its painted like Tylers. Its a paint called Graphic Effects or something like that. Notice the custom ghost Mitsu diamond in the center?


I would really like to do something custom with the next cover. I'd like to shave some of it but also modify the "2000" to say "2300" considering I have a 2.3L.

man thats awesome....

Here is mine just before it went back on the car.


Here it is a year later... It's hard to keep aluminum polished in the engine bay..


Here is one I did for a friend last summer.

Another Painted Valve Cover Thread Here are some more painted valve covers.

Onyx Black Urethane with 3 coats of clear, with sanded and polished letters. The purple was a custom mix that was left over from a previous customer, and all accessories on the motor are painted that color. (Pullies, brackets, fuel rail, etc...)

I know mine is

Powdercoated valve cover and all the pipes

TRG coating black chrome with the clear coat, the clear coat likes to bubble a little when the engine is hot but it settles back down once it cools.

Mine. Looks way better in person.

Do you mean spark plug cover or valve cover. Cause if it’s a valve cover I would like to see pictures of that. I looked on DSMparts.com and I didn’t find a carbon valve cover.

Stock VC with NGK wires.
