an FYI, I have the racing solution one and it's yellowed due to the heat from the engine.

I got it for $100 shipped back in the day.

How did it fit?

fitment was fine.

fitment on mine was good from them but i needed to drill out the holes for the bolts on the engine... it was a piece of cake... 1/10 on the difficulty scale.

Mine yellowed as well and I ended up throwing it away.

My best advice would be to toss that cover and powdercoat your valve cover. It looks a lot cleaner and is really quite the eye catcher...

here is the one from Doc I's site with his cover:

You could paint the engine cover if you want as well. If you get the CF cover just use it for shows so it doesnt yellow.

BZinn1 · 10-31-2008, 03:06 AM

Yeah the CF one is not really a functional item.......the resin used to make them is not able to withstand that much heat.

If you get one just use for shows or polish the actual valve cover under it or powder coat it. Also Doc I's plate rocks.There is also another seller on here that sells a differant plate that is also sweet.

jjos1 is the other spark plug cover seller. I got his cover with "SCION" cut out on mine. Check his out in the sponsored sales.
