valve cover! check it out

hey whats up guys.. so got a question im currently in the process of powdercoating alot of parts in my bay. so im starting with getting my valve cover done by a buddy who is a great artist and i was wondering where i can get just a plain normal spark plug cover?? i dont want it to have any designs because my guy is airbrushing it. any luck?? also i came across a kid at local meet that has something ive never seen before and kinda blew my mind. has anyone ever tried or done wrapped valve cover??? its badass ill post some pics thanks for any advice

Those look cool! Thats something ive never seen before, and as for a plain valve cover I dont think there are any. Instead of Optimus ive would of done the cover all black with the red decepticon logo.

The evo 8 valve cover is plain but you need something for the spark plug cover, you already drive an 8 just get a plain spark plug cover from ETS or AMS

Not my style, but they do look great. I haven't seen a completely flat cover for our cars, but I have seen some where people have ground everything off. Search around show & shine. More specifically "official" engine bay thread, I believe. And of course, post pics when ya get done.

These look awesome. If your buddy goes public, you can sign me in as I would love to have my valve cover done in blue with a nice Decepticon logo!

Not really my thing but they're awesome nonetheless. The possibilities are endless so I'm sure someone will come up with something even us traditionalists can appreciate.

Here is a plain, smooth carbon fiber one: http://www.momentumgt.com/titek-inno...03-p-1224.html

The Buschur, AMS, ETS, and JMF ones all have words on them but I'm sure if you contacted them they would be willing to sell you a blank.

I personally like the idea, just not those particular designs. It would look really awesome if if was a cool design featuring the Mitsubishi symbol.
