Do they even make one for the sr? My friend told me that top secret does and its really expensive. I want one as a status symbol so I can say I have something in common with an F430. I know... its dumb but I still want one. It's either this or carbon-ceramic break rotors.

As far as I know, nobody makes a CF valve cover for an SR.

save the money and buy something that increases performance.

I'm already in the process of ordering all the performance stuff I just wanted a "bling" factor under the hood when I was done since I'm gonna have a freshly painted engine bay.

Send it to TRG Coating in Jersey to have it powder coated. With shipping, I think it came out to around $85 to have mine done, and they did a remarkable job.

You could also go with a totally stripped and polished look as well, or chrome it up if you really want bling.

I dunno... maybe I'll sand down and smooth out the spark plug cover and get a neked asian chick with big a$$ titties airbrushed over the whole thing. That would be ballin.

how does the polish hold up? do you protect it with wax? or did you clear over it?
