Coolest Valve Cover?

[YAN-3]

hah i like how i started a thread like this a long ago and everybody told me to search but this guy can have it. but the coolest in my opinion is this.

dont these yellow after a while? i always though they were neat, untill i saw 2 of them in person, 1 was completely yellowed out and the other had bad yellowing around the letters. looked like poop.

Thanks for the tip. :roll:

I'm not talking about a powdercoated valve cover, I'm referring to something along the lines of this...



See? Crinkle coat.

I know what you were talking about jackass. Search. There are TONS of pictures on r3v of EVACTLY what you are asking for.

depends what kind of paint was used. The ones that Korman sells don't yellow but they aren't even close to cheap

the plug wire ENDS are not red because only the EVO III had red ends(cables were still black), and the white valve cover with the motorsport stripes was an EVO II thing.
all of the real EVO II cars I have seen were also yellowed out, but that could be some of the wax crap that gets sprayed on them, and after a while all white color will yellow with that much heat in the area.



I have painted all of my cars M20 intakes black too-- just like the Alpina cars-- but yes, it takes more than a 7th grade education to pull a intake, so most don't do it-- and the replacement gaskets cost more that 5 dollars too.



heres the valve cover on my M3 before I painted the car orange-- I had the fake EVO look rockin.





and here's a pic of my turbo cars intake black--- before it was finished and running.
