Yep, I would try to find an Evo 7 valve cover and/or powdercoat it to your liking. It was my understanding that Mitsu already did their homework on making the valve cover lightweight by making it out of Magnesium ( you'll find the "Mg" symbol in the upper right-hand corner of the valve cover).

Another thing is that the stock evo cover is magnesium and it has baffles. All of the cars you mentioned (Hondas and American Cars) just have standard valve covers with no baffles underneath and are therfore easier and cheaper to make.

In all likelihood an aftermarket one would be quite expensive to produce to the same quality and specs as stock. And most people would probably only pay 200-300 for one anyway, so theres no benefit for a vendor to even try and make one and possibly lose all of their R&D money.

Honda valve covers also have baffles.
