dont buy it bro
not worth it
only difference is the color
if you paint it with vht wrinkle red paint it will looks exactly the same
just shave the paint off the honda sign

I would just personally buy the jdm one. (which i have)

Reason for buying the JDM one is because Cali law is strict as you know. If the cops see that red valve cover they already know that it's a motor swap or think it's a motor swap. And you know here you go from there...

I just keep my Silver one on the side.

If you do decide to spray can it. Just make sure it has alot of wrinkles! When my brother still have his sohc eg we used 2 different types of spray cans. It turned out really good! alot of wrinkles where you can actually feel it!

dont waste $150 to $200 on a jdm vc but then again if your ballin and money aint a thing then go for it

if you want to keep a spare just buy another regular vc for $50 and spray it

so you save money and have a spare one for whatever you might like to do with it

save your money and put it towards something else. valve cover doesn't do anything but make your bay look nice or rice depending on whos looking at it. unless you like the unwanted attention.

oh dont worry manny. ive had intentions on painting my VC also but since we live in CA im trying to stay off the radar as much as possible. i've gotten plenty of "is this stock?" when i pop my hood. yay for sleeper?
