Didn't your car come with one when you bought it?

Any B-series VTEC valve cover will fit.

This guy on here is selling this valve cover and is taking offers. I'm sure he would do way better than 265. FYI.

Default Valve cover

Are you just replacing Valve cover for looks or are they leaking oil?
If you're looking for looks a Type R valve cover should'nt cost that much. Ebay is cheaper.

Maybe you just need to replace your valve cover gasket??

the gasket would be my guess, but $265 is still obscene for that job.

:werd:

get a second opinion. maybe all you need is to change the valve cover gasket, which is easy and cheap. and no, the valve cover is not a performance part.
