Default Valve Cover for LS

Does anyone make a valve cover for an LS? I haven't seen any around. Mine is pretty dingy although I may be swapping out with a friend soon.

I would have searched for this but you can't type in words such as LS since it is under the minimum word length.

moroso makes a hideous valve cover for the LS. why not just strip off the wrinkle paint and powdercoat it? :dunno:

sandblasting will be easier than using sandpaper. If you sandblast just go over it with a fine-grit paper then.

it happens, often - my GSR's is coming off around the oil cap and on the right of the "DOHC VTEC" lettering.

Use Aircraft Coating Remover to take the high temp paint off. It costs $5 from the car parts store. :thumbup:

Right, no need to sand. Sanding will screw your valve cover up royally. Also, no need to get it powder-coated, you can paint it yourself with some high quality paint. Check the articles section over at www.team-integra.net , there's a good article with instructions and examples.
