C/F Plug cover came from RMR. I believe HKS Kansai Service along with Varis make them as well.

I really like this valve cover does anyone know if the color is the same as stock one? I have the RMR carbon spark plug cover so mine would look similar to your set up. Now I gotta find one

Sorry, I may have been a tad misleading. The OEM Evo VII one is the EXACT same color as our valve cover. I however had mine powdercoated "Type-R" Wrinkle Red. I am planning on powdercoating my Intake Manifold and Turbo to match, so keeping the stock color was not an option.

Thanks for the positive imput...

RSBoy - All I see is an "x"... maybe it's this damn firewall Im behind.

You can powder coat it, but the logevity is the issue. Magnesium is not the ideal meatl to PC from what the PC guy that did my wheels tells me.

You can have them imported through Japan OEM parts dealers. Expect to pay ~$350 for one, plus expensive overseas customs/shipping.

Will an USDM VIII VC fit on a USDM IX or will MIVEC cause it not to fit?

What?
I've had zero issues with customers that had their Evo magnesium valve covers powder coated.
Also coated a set of Magnesium wheels for a sport bike that are holding up excellent.
Prep and coating process is what determines the longevity of a coating, not the metal.
