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?

get chrome paint, it wont really be as shiney as chrome plated but it will do.

 

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)

 

Just paint it yourself. Its easy. And Id do a graff on if I could think of anything that would look good.

 

i cant imagine me doing graff on a small valve cover unless it was just a tag, i like to add detail and ****, my pieces are usually huge.

 

Same here, 6'x12' is the wall space we usually work on. But something like this would still be neat...I love this bay

 

that bay is clean as hell. i want to wiretuck mine and relocate my battery and **** like that. that valve cover is shweet too. im going to pull out the old airbrush kit and work on my spare cover. ill post pics if it turns out alright.

 

Mine is slightly tucked but I wouldnt move my battery. I want the weight on the front wheels even though its not that much. Traction.

 

i just like how it looks
