Why not paint yours or send it in to be coated.

Just fyi, I did the same thing you are trying to do. You are looking for the valve cover off of a 92-95 si or ex d16z6 engine. Just wanted to let you know what they are off of so you can find one easier.

dito..... ebay place to buy BUT be warned... with a 92-95valve cover... they are aged more so ALOT more likely to corosion/piting on them... can still be sanded out smooth.... just takes alittle more look good...
but definatly alot cheaper..... ;)
no clue why honda stoped puting Vtec on the valves covers in 96.LOL

If all else fails, just take a screwdriver to it and etch V.TECH into it. But make sure to leave out the "h." :)

Just out of curiosity, why does it HAVE to say VTEC? DOes it really matter? IMO that screams rice.

Guess thats just me....

well when showing off the motor its a good way to show that you do have Vtec under the hood instead of a nonVtec motor....
most people dont know what Vtec actually looks like. so instead of looking for the Vtec solenoid they just know it doesnt say Vtec. ;)

to me it looks alot cooler than just a H and HONDA when polished/painted ;)

YOU DECIDE... and i think it only looks rice when its painted crazy...

standard 96-00 valve cover...

I would attempt to answer this question, but apparently Im too retarded to do so.

And through my perspective..some of you guys get a little too excited about VTEC "thing."

i never said it was rice..... i mean if its painted all crazy!

like ive seen some lime green, bright yellow painted covers when their was nothing to match on the whole car.LOL

i love a nice painted VC. but it "MUST" blend well with the car. otherwise its not my preference!

the Vtec might seem overrated to some BUT its just "eye candy" for some. i enjoy it.

hrm thats interesting, my car does not say vtec on it and its a 93 with a d16z6 engine in it, or atleast thats what it says on the timming belt cover on that little sticker.
