I know this is a high temp plastic / composite, but can it withold the 500 degree temps of getting powder coated? If not i guess I'll be buying a Mopar CF one...but THATS ALOT OF MONEY

They will send you a email telling you how much your total order is. They do charge shipping by the way, it should be anywhere from $7 to $16 depending on your location.

Just for anyones future info, the reg. 2.0 (non magnum) Valve cover cant be powdercoated...has to be sand blasted to clean it, and you cant sandblast the reg. 2.0 VC...and then the heat is a factor too

I wanted to get my stock one done, but then I opted to go w/ the one mancini had

magnum cover = metal, nonmagnum = plastic.. you cant powdercoat plastic

Arts & Crafts stores sell neat paint that can make plastic look like suede or ice or lots of other pretty textures though......lol

dawm = Parts Pimp = Mancini's Valve Covers = El Cheapo

thats true...but its probably not heat resistant

Yeah, but for the trailer queen crowd.....You could glue fur from your Oscar the Grouch stuffed animal to your valve cover and have a furry green engine. Fuzzy Leapord Skin maybe? Go Reno/Vegas style with the Gold Lemme Old Lady Shoe overlay. Sweet. j/k
