Matt 10-06-2002, 12:07 AM I never thought I would like a chromed VC until I saw one in person. W:eek:W it was nice. Sure the powdercoating is cool, but nothing shines like chrome. I have mine polished, it looks nice about twice a year.:D Chrissy 10-06-2002, 06:58 AM I do have an extra one but not the $50 to get it powdercoated gunmetal. SmoothDaddyFig 10-06-2002, 07:26 AM I want a carbon fiber valve cover!!!!!!!!

Red, please: http://www.turbochargedse-r.com/serwebpics/enginebay.jpg My second choice is... some silver Sterling coat from www.jet-hot.com . That stuff doesn't chip, doesn't flake, and will take up to 1,200 degrees. :) Matt 10-06-2002, 12:08 PM Originally posted by SmoothDaddyFig I want a carbon fiber valve cover!!!!!!!! Damn wait I change my vote. I'm with you Figgy! SE-Rican 10-06-2002, 12:12 PM I prefer polishing.. If you dedicate time to it. It can look awesome! 99.se.ltd 10-06-2002, 12:40 PM i say stock. ONLY because i don't have the time or patience to keep anything in my engine bay clean, so doing anything to the VC would be a waste of money. AaroNX 10-06-2002, 12:48 PM I prefer mine powder coated white. To match the car. I have a polished one that I don't use anymore. If you don't keep it clean it doesn't look to great. Like dull aluminum. As far as the chrome goes you can have stuff powder coated chrome as well. Looks good too. DaGenesis 10-06-2002, 01:21 PM I'd get a carbon fiber valve cover... who wants to email this company and see if we can get a group of people interested and make some?? http://www.totalcontrolproducts.com/valvecovers.html thats one site i found, im sure there are more AaroNX 10-06-2002, 01:31 PM If they made enough they would probably be willing to do them in colors too for the people that wanted colors. I have seen red, blue and yellow CF. Matt 10-06-2002, 02:28 PM Well I just emailed them asking how many it would take. We'll see what they say. B_baker03 10-06-2002, 03:19 PM I'd really like mine a black chrome. Most of you know what I mean. Not the chrome that hurts your eyes, but a smooth finish that looks like it was smoked. It looks really good, I would think. My GREX shift knob has the same finish and it looks really fly. Of course, if I couldn't have one of those, I could settle for carbon fiber, I GUESS!:rolleyes: se-r sam 10-06-2002, 05:29 PM My vote goes for carbon fiber. Lightweight is where it's at.:D metro_se-r 10-06-2002, 06:18 PM i've had a spare valva cover sitting in my shed for almost 3 months now. i'm still not sure what to do with it. doesn anyone know how much it would cost to chrome it? Stiletto 10-06-2002, 07:18 PM Wow, i didn't even think about CF. well, i guess i started this poll w/ the mindset of currently available things to do. a CF VC would be awesome, although kinda pricey. SmoothDaddyFig 10-06-2002, 07:22 PM Light weight is my style!!! I would love a carbon fiber hood and a valve cover to match. | ||
