I'm guessing this is for the metal valve covers only, and not for the plastic ones... right?
Yes. As per the link:

Powder coating is an advanced method of applying a decorative and protective finish to metals. The powder used for the process is a mixture of finely ground particles of pigment and resin, which is sprayed onto a surface to be coated. The charged powder particles adhere to the electrically grounded surfaces until heated and fused into a smooth coating in a curing oven. The result is a uniform, durable, high-quality, and attractive finish. Powder coating is the fastest-growing finishing technology in North America, representing over 10% of all industrial finishing applications.

We can powder coat many different colors. Please specify the color you'd like to have your valve cover powder coated in the Comments field.

Options:

New OEM Core - Use this option if you would like a brand new valve cover to be coated.

Customer Supplied Core - Use this option if you will be sending us a core. NOTE: If the valve cover you send in requires more cleanup than normal, you will be charged a $65 cleanup fee before it ships back to you. Avoid this fee by sending us a relatively clean, corrosion-free valve cover.

Refundable Core Charge - Use this option if you would like us to powder coat one of our cores for you. When we receive your metal core back from you, we will refund this charge. PLEASE NOTE: If your core is damaged or dirty, we reserve the right to reject the core or give a reduced refund.

NOTE: We can only powder coat metal valve covers, like those found on the 2008 models.

Built into the price of this service is FREE GROUND SHIPPING back to you within the contiguous United States.

sucks mitsu got cheap after the 1st model year. $300 is steep for a new cover :(
Yeah, it is pretty ridiculous.
if I can scoop one up for cheaper on here at some point Ill hit you up for the PC service Dino.
Still running your uicp elbow and its doing just fine. The TiTek cf cooling plate bulges a little bit over top of it but not noticable unless doing a photoshoot.
Hmm. What about a spark plug cover?

We're working on coming up with some more options on those.

For now, we can offer you the JNZ spark cover or the SSP.
How difficult is that to install.

Dino, I can't find your spark plug covers on your site. A little help?

Maybe I'm doing it wrong...
do you keep the inside of the valve cover raw metal?

Not hard if you're mechanically inclined. A few notes:


  1. Use a high quality RTV (such as threebond) where the timing cover meets the head
  2. Allow RTV to dry for at least 4 hours before driving
  3. DO NOT OVER-TORQUE THE BOLTS

It is very simple. 15 minutes.
bump for a great mod... can you do the cover in Rotor Glow orange? Only issue I see is me being in Canada taking a shit kicking in shipping etc with this. Prolly easier and cheaper to go local.

Dino did mine in black summer of 2010, and it came out incredible and still looks like the day it was powdercoated.

Should do the wire tuck for the wires going over the valve cover.
That's next on my list ^_^
