I was curious to know where the best place was to get one. Right now the best Ive found is for $140 at JDMPro. If anyone knows a place cheaper let me know. But im guessing this is the best price for now.






*moderator feel free to move to right forum...wasnt sure*

When I was looking the cheapest I found it for was $180...thats a damn good price...I ended up sayin screw it and painted it myself due to lack of money.

yeah 140 is a good price. i got mine for about the same price. be sure to get the rsx silver intake manifold cover and the spark plug cover as well. they look sick together. me im waiting for a carbon fiber peice hehe.

WTF.

I thought gaskets were always supposed to be replaced.

This one is rubber and reusable... but it depends on how many miles on our your car.

As long as its not ripped of rotted it can be re-used.
I don't see how a car thats 2 yrs old or less will need a new one.

well they used to have it for $150.00 for both the valve cover and the plug cover. not sure what they charge now but they were the cheapest on the net when i was looking.

I had called Showstoppers to obtain one, but got scared away when Chuck said that it needed to be "slightly" modified to fit the EP.
What did you guys need to do prior to install? Any problems with the install?

me either man. i have heard that before though. its not true. you may need to get a new gasket though depending on the condition of the original one.

I have read on several store sites, that it requires a slight modification.

Thanks for the input! :D

to remvove the valve cover is it just a simple unscrew and remove? is there anything I should know prior to removing mine?
