Picked up the valve covers Friday and installed them yesterday. The powdercoating cost ended up being $45. Went with a semi-gloss textured black which matches the finish on the rest of the black items under the hood really well. Install time was a little less than an hour start to finish with my brother helping and doing a little cleaning along the way. I went ahead and replaced the vct seals along with the valve cover gaskets while I was at it.

I plan on painting the fuel rails soon so I'll try and get a couple better pics under the hood when I'm finished. Here's a couple shots of the covers after I got them from the powdercoater and a couple quick pics I snapped after we finished up with the install.

My neighbor's dad dropped them off and picked them up so I didn't get to talk to the powdercoater in person. I can give them a call this week or get you the phone number if you would like.

Thanks for the compliments guys. :D

'07...I pm'd you the info as requested.

Israel...I'll give them a call for you this week.

Red...what you don't like my poo colored valve covers?! ;)

It doesn't look brown on my screen, but weems is probably right. White balance may be a little off and causing the finish to be a little warm. I tweaked it a little so hopefully it looks a little better on your end.

06Vista...$45. Normal cost from the powdercoater that did them is $70.
