New Valve Cover?
Well i just got a civic and im trying to dress it up a little bit. Id like to have a nicer looking Shiney new valve cover to look nice next to my chrome header. Anyone know of a site id b able to order this peice , if any at all?. i cant seem to find any Valve covers for sale on the internet. Is there a way to remove mine and give it a chrome look?

Will polished aluminum do? If so, wet-sand the valve cover with 120 grit to take most of the paint off. Then go over it with 220, 400, 800, 1000, and 2000 grit, all wet-sanding. I promise you by that time you won't be able to look at the valve cover in direct sunlight. I polished my friend's valve cover in his 240sx for sh*ts and giggles before we painted it, and it was ridiculously shiny after the 800 grit.
Personally, whatever Civic I get next will have a graffiti valve cover, like I did on the rear windshield of my friend's EJ2, only covering 95% of the valve cover:

(I know the L4te Night Kr3w isn't really graffiti style, I just felt like scribbling that on there while I had the window pen lol)
