Because my internet is slow, I thought you had a leopard print valve cover. Then it loaded some more.

so did u use ur stock valve cover, just sand and poweder coat or did u buy a differnt one. cuz i have the chance to powerder coat some stuff but i wasnt sure if i could powder coat the oem one on my car, mine looks just like urs does.

How much did you pay for the valve cover and where do i find it??? I've seen some powdercoated ones on abay like that...
I have the same question as well sxxxt, I want to powdercoat one myself, are the oem valve covers able to be powdercoated? I think they have a rubberish coating on them stock but not sure...

Yes yes, I know!!
sxxxt: This is a Magnum (i.e. R/T or ACR) valve cover. Those are the only ones that are
metal on 2gn's and can therefore be powdercoated, all other non-Magnum valvecovers are Plastic! Either get a Mag VC, or ANY **'96-'99** SOHC valvecover fits fine. I just happened to choose the Magnum VC because I already have a catch can setup, so to me it was plug + play vs rerouting with the earlier (although slightly better design) VC's.
DouglasSXT: PM Jefford on the other .org; you can find his thread here ---->
http://forums.neons.org/viewtopic.php?t=262182 His prices start @ $50-75 for basic colors. Mine was more expensive because it's Candy red, has polished lettering AND it's clearcoated (in other words $125 shipped).
Thanks for the compliments guys.
