There are "style" J's valvecovers out there...

Here is an "authentic" picture of one. I am not saying yours isnt real (I cant tell) but just making you aware that they are over $400 used not new plus shipping. I bought it used for $450+shipping back in 2003. BTW all J's Racing valvecovers are bought as used items not new..

I bought mine from AJ racing as soon as they got an order in last month. It came in a J's box, with a J's Part number, bubble wrapped with J's tape. Are you suggesting that AJ Racing is selling fake valvecovers? Or maybe J's Racing is selling AJ Racing fake ones!?

Ha!

Please stop posting J's racing covers, I think I saw enough.Just start your own "Is this J's valve cover real" thread.
And thanks to s2000gt for bringing this thread back to where it belong.

Bump, any more painted valve covers out there? Just picked up a spare valve cover and looking at some ideas to paint it.

p.s. I know this is from 2005 but why start another thread?

If anyone wants perfect powdercoating on their valve cover send it to me and can have my shop do it for a $120 as long as the color is in stock! BTW, if you can't notice already my car has the whole black gold theme going.

What do they do about the rubber seals near the spark plug holes while powdercoating. I have a spare valve cover and could not get them off.
