Default Rick's Valve Covers

I like the idea of having a shiny silver valve cover on my S instead of the red thing that doesn't go with my paintwork.

Anybody bought one from Rick's? Think it's quite expensive, and wondering what the charges might be to get one sent over here and to send mine back to the States.

Can't see anything mate.

I have a shiny metal intake so a shiny metal valve cover would look bling.

I bet U can see little red crosses? Your Browser or Firewall is blocking images - mine does indiscriminantly !

If U have a metal intake I can understand why you would want a metal cover!

Maybe its just me being a tight git, but I dont see the point in putting cosmetic items under the hood...unless you go to cruises or shows, park up and show off your mods.

I stripped, prepped and painted mine myself.



It does look nice being a more lusty red (heck the F20c deserves the attention it's that good an engine!), but the main advantage is that it's a lot easier to clean with a smooth finish. Cost about
