lol no idea. I actually saw these as samples because someone on honda-tech was offering like a paintjob thing for valve covers. One of his friends goes to the School of Visual Arts and offered to paint w/e you wanted on a valve cover for a fee.

if you are not willing to spend a lot of money, you should just paint it yourself. a lot have done the wrinkle red, black, yellow. powder coated and even flat black. i am looking for a spare vc to play with. my favorite though was the rising sun that someone did. hopefully I could find the pics for it.

RJEP

found these pics. still looking for the rising sun. the graff art looks good, but would do a different design.

I like that VC, it would have matched well with the polished RBC and coolant outlet I made and donated to last years BBQ raffle.
