Default Mmmmm....... Shiney!

The powder coater I use is located about 75 miles from my house. Sometimes I can meet up with him half-way, and sometime we mail parts. However, this time I just couldn't wait any longer. So I drove down to his shop to pick up my new valve cover.

First, was it worth all this:



YES!!!

I wanted to continue my red/black interior theme under the hood. I had many parts done just before I took the car out of storage:



The valve cover just looked SOOOO bad with the red ignition cover.


So I bought a new valve cover to powder coat (while I was still able to drive the car.) Here are the pictures of the two valve covers together.



I removed the old valve cover. Here are some engine shots most people will never see:



The final result:

red dampers would be cool and match your theme quite well

Looks nice ruexp67!

I think the powder coated valve cover is a great engine bay mod. It makes a huge difference and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I'm in the market for a yellow s2k and if/when I get one I plan to throw a yellow valve cover in there. Faded red on yellow... ewww

Here are some engine shots most people will never see:
Thanks, I was wondering what it looked like under there!
