can you get a plastic chrome one? i think ive seen a few on here, but am not sure where to get one at. i searched on here and didnt come across anything.

 

a lot of people take off the cover and polish the manifold. IMO looks a lot nicer then that plastic thing haha but you can always paint it,

 

you can take it off and polish the valve cover.
or.
get chrome spray paint and go nuts.

 

oh no cory tell me you didnt

 

didnt what?
chrome spray paint?
whats wrong with chrome spray paint...?

 

well i know they make carbon fiber ones and ive seen a few guys on here with a chrome one so im asking.

 

I don't think I have see a chrome one, I have seen chrome valve cover.

 

yea i think your thinking of the valve cover too. ive never seen anyone paint the cover chrome.

 

yea i looked around and I haven't see any.

 

I went through like all of the post your engine bay thread and there is nobody that has a chrome engine cover.

 

I would imagine that it would require a LOT of other parts in your bay to be chrome as well. Otherwise it will look silly.

 

Not plastic... but if you want to spend the money, ScionPro has some stainless stuff for the engine bay:

IMHO, with that kind of set up, that tC should be pushing some serious power.. its not a muscle car, not even a basic V6. So, chrome doesn't really fit unless there is a lot of engine work done.

 

Oh, I agree. I'm just throwing the stuff out there. I really don't like any of it at all actually.

Not to mention that website drives me insane (read some of the descriptions on some things - they read like a 12 yr old in an AOL chat room wrote them).

But it is an option, none-the-less.

 

oh, i understand. Please don't take it that I am bashing your suggestion. I was just merely adding my opinion to the products they have there.
It is, truly, an option.

 

Not at all... no worries.

 

i might have the part that im talking about confused with something else.

 

Well the "engine cover" would be the plastic part that goes on top of the "valve cover" which is the actual metal piece that is part of the engine.

Many people either paint or remove the plastic engine cover and have painted/polished/powdercoated the metal valve cover.

 

That's a little too much bling for me, but if it's what you're looking for, it's pretty nice.
