got new valve cover (need opinions)

Post by granturismonut »

well after searching for longer than I care to remeber I finally got myself a Moroso Valve Cover.

Now hear is the question

1. Leave V/C anodized red (who cares)

2. Strip V/C and have it polished

I see it looking way better polished than red, but let me know what you think.

Yes I know my engine bay is cluttered...

Sand it down and paint it a gunmetal or bronze color little something out of the regular around here. Also does that thing not have a spark plug cover or what, as for your old valve cover what ya gonna do with it lol.

My votes in for the stock valve cover. Be creative with a color choice for the original valve cover.
