just wondering if it would be possible to grind/shave the doch 2.0 ect down to flat, then possibly etch in somthing, like eclipse or RS-T or perhaps ur user name here...

i dunno i think RS-T would look awesome (as long as u have an RS-t of course) very origional...

If I knew about that site before, I woulda bought the red one.
Too bad the SRT-4 ones dont fit too well. They come powdercoated too.
Oh well, ..I kinda still like mine I guess.

cant remember the web address, but i ran across one last week that sold our valve covers powdercoated in different colors and it showed a chrome one that you could get that didnt have the lettering on it. I've seen one in person tho and didn't really care for it. IMO it just seamed to be misssing something...but then again that's cuz it was.

do you have to send them your valve cover or will you have to buy a new one.

Ok, I just emailed them to see if they could possibly do my vc in a darker more closer to my paint color candy blue. Hopefully they respond.

i think if u could get something etched or engraved a little bit into a plain v/c then that would look tight, especially RS-T (if your RS turbo'd) or 2GNT or sumthin... that would look good IMO

The 2.0l DOHC 420a that comes on the neon comes smoothe. You could probably get on a neon site and trade for one of thiers. I am sure someone on there would like to have one of ours. Here are pics of it from the acbc site.

We shave a lot of valve covers for customers then either polish/powder coat it depending on what they want. So that might be another option for someone who is interested.

Also, if you'd like another quote on some powder coating... whether it's a basic color or custom, feel free to drop me an email. I'm always glad to answer questions and work with you to get the result you're looking for.

It was. But I believe it was a 2.6...call me out if I'm wrong though. It was definitely him though.
