polished and painted front valve cover

I well I polished and painted this valve cover with plans to remove and sell my mevi cover and install this. but was thinking the mevi cover with just the exposed portion of the valve cover polished looks better. the center was painted black with high temp engine paint and everything else sanded and polished

sold but willing to do another by request

would look really nice under the hood too, plus it easy to install since it is the front cover

personally i think the look would be pulled off much better with a dark colored coil cover and mevi cover

. Bump for a fresh a$$ VC though, looks great!

hard to justify spending 85 for something that just looks pretty. Dont get me wrong tho, it is very good looking and I understand the amount of time that went into it. Good luck tho.

I understand what your saying but between the weight and time involved to polish the cover I did not think 85shipped was that bad considering this is a item not offered in the aftermarket. Well maybe their is someone out there who wants some bling under the hood and does not want to spent the time polishing

if not I'll just keep it and polish my mevi to match.
