Going with a shaved VC soon. This is the one currently installed.

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.

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.

Does anyone know where I can buy that cool LS1 valve cover? It’s cool makes it look like you have a v8…..

 

[thegchild04]

I got the C/F cover from DSMparts.com an yes its real C/F.

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.
