I've seen a couple third party CF covers, but I agree, just paint it till you find something. Randode.com has the lettering overlays

There are paint spray cans called Engine Paint which are high heat resistant paints. But for valve covers, I believe you can just use any spray cans out there since it's not going to be burning hot...

I just got confirmation that ScionPro will be coming out with the polished stainless steel engine bay kit for the Gen2 xb within the next month or so. Something to look forward to. I know I am.
