I know there has been countless threads about valve cover colors but I need some opinions from my fellow niconaut's. I can't decide what color I want to paint my valve cover. I tired of poping the hood and seeing that plain looking KA. I kinda want to paint it red to go with the red on the car but IDK.

Call me crazy, but I powered coated my KA valve cover candy apple or something like that back in the day and now I'm tired of looking at it. It's too flash and don't like it anymore, so I just bought a brand valve cover from Nissan. I like plain looking valve cover better now. Guess what? It was the last KA valve cover in the world. It was at some dealership in TN. I didn't want to pick up used one and clean up.

It was weird. $150+ MSRP. Courtesy quoted $113 before tax, but this dealership gave me at $100 shipped. I didn't even ask for the discount. I just ordered it, so it should be here Mon or Tue. BTW, s13 DOHC valve cover is completely out of production and out of stock.
