Prepping and powdercoating the valve cover was $50, shipping an additional $15. I have about $125 in the finished valve cover. That includes purchase and shipping from CA to OH where the valve cover was powdercoated, then shipping to me in FL and of course, the cost of the powdercoating. I'll still need to spend some money on a valve cover gasket. Not a cheap project, but I like that it is somewhat unique.

I'll definitely take pictures, just not sure when I'll get around to installing it. I've got tons of other projects I need to finish up... I've been riding around with one seat for almost a year... need to finish the stereo system install. I don't know... maybe the valve cover project will come first... I might as well do it while I'm swapping out my stock alternator for the HO one I purchased.
