Hey I'm about to get a new valve cover from a friend and I was gonna get it powder coated but I don't know what color to get it done in and I was wonderin if anyone would post a pic of theres and it dawned on me "hey why not make this a thread where everyone can post up pictures of there valve covers and like once a month make a poll and everyone can vote or something along those lines" anyways I just thought this might fun to do.

I say go pink and be real unique lol. I guess valve cover color is a big decision. I think the favorite I have seen was in a magazine issue like a month ago and it was a S13 I believe that had neon colors through out (like neon pink calipers), but I liked how the valve color was like a black sparkle with splats of neon green and pink and yellow. I wish I remembered what magazine it was in.

Re: Vavle cover thread
It's not a sr20 valve cover... But I had it custom made for my old GST and I love to show it off even though I no longer have it lol...
