Default PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am the most retarted person ever, so i wanted to paint my engine valve cover, and i'm sanding it, and I go to get up, and i step on the freakin thing!!!! So it cracks, fine,, i crazy glue it and it's fine. Then i go to paint it and the spray bottle leaks everywhere splotching the thing. Now i go to totally start from scratch and i'm ____ed that most of the paint wont come off and a new crack is appearring on the side,

Someone on scionlife must either be selling a stock cover, or a cf one. Anyone know any advertisers on scionlife who sells these, anyone want to sell me theirs? PLEASE HELP ME, I FEEL LIKE SUCH A BUM!!!

There are lots of CF covers on EBay. Here is the cheapest one they have listed at the moment. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...spagename=WDVW

But remember. Even with those "made to fit" covers, there still is some modification needed. This link explains how to modify the cover.

You can prolly find an OEM one from someone here on SL, get a cf one, or maybe even the polished Injen engine cover.

The OEM cover is just there for looks to hide all of the wiring.
