I was wondering if you had any black in stock or there not out yet or what? i would like to pick one up. let me know :D

Call them, they might not see your post for a while.

Or polish yours!

thats the point why i want a black.. haha too much work to polish and it would go good with a black car :D

We dont have any black valve covers in stock right now.
We only stocked red for a while, but didnt have much interest in them.
If youd like, we can get a valve cover from GM, have it powdercoated for you and ship it to you though, turn around would be roughly 2.5 - 3 weeks and it would be made for you specifically. No extra charge for that.

If youd like to do that, please contact me or call me .

sweet i will be deff. picking one of these up. gotta wait till i sell my PS3's :D

How hard is it to replace?

The valve cover should just unbolt and come right off the top of the engine. You have to pull the spark plug coils off first though. It's an easy job, just make you put the gasket back on and don't get dirt in there.

Why don't you just paint it with High Heat Paint? I know that powder coating is great but I personally am going to paint mine. Just to lazy at the moment.

painting involves me sanding all the shit thats on it and personally i jsut cant get it off lol, powercoating is the best option for me.

You don't have to sand anything if your gonna paint it just prime and have at ot with a can of spray paint! And if you can't get yours off to paint what are you gonna do with a powder coated one? I'm not in any way flaming you I'm just asking is all.

Now polishing you may need to sand it to get rid of any rough spots. ANd that can be a bitch as I just finished mine. I'd post pics but I droped and broke my camera. :(

pm sent

I'd be interested in a powder coated black one too. Just depends on pricing.

group buy!!! :lol:

be interested on polished

i'd be interested in a black valve cover too! how much would they cost????
group buy FTW!!

is blue an option?

The Modern Performance Powder coating is far thicker and harder than sprayed paint -- I expect it to last a long time. I also appreciate the fact that it was indeed a new GM valve cover to begin with. It brightened up my engine compartment. You could probably do a simular job with paint but it was easier and cleaner starting out with the MP VC. If you can afford it I recommend it. You'll need a new seal kit from GM -- no aftermarket VC seals are available yet.

(Red wire looms have been removed since picture was taken!!!!)

im getting mine polished tomarrow, yay. ill get before and after pics.

I need a new seal kit? how much does that usually run? i cant use old one?

I deff think there should be a group buy ont he powdercoated valve covers. I personally would love to have one.

I need a new seal kit? how much does that usually run? i cant use old one?

I prepared everything (to include prepositioning a new seal kit) before I started working on taking off the valve cover. The factory seal is glued in so I left it alone and stored my original -- didn't attempt to take the seal off. Just wanted peace-of-mind cause I didn't want to be in the middle of removing the old VC and installing the new VC and breaking the seal -- they were not available (even to order) from any local parts stores when I did mine. The seal kit PN is 12584084 and costs around $20.

You could try to use your old seal, and it might work, but why take the chance on an oil leak?

Just ordered a bunch of valvecovers for the SS.
They will be in stock powdercoated in roughly 2-3 weeks and available in a BUNCH of different colors ! Stay tuned guys !

Awesome!!!

w00t ill be ordering a black one HOPEFULLY we can do a group buy i'd be all in for this!

wait SS im a 2.2 :( i need a 2.2 Vavle cover!

wait SS im a 2.2 :( i need a 2.2 Vavle cover!

I'm sure if you ask Modern Performance real nice they will provide you with a 2.2 valve cover. Order one and they will probably get a new VC to powder coat and then send it to you when it is done.

We just received the Cobalt SS 2.0 valve covers.
They will be mailed off tomorrow, and we will have powdercoated valve covers within 1 - 2 weeks. Pricing looks pretty good, and these are all BRAND NEW valve covers, so you know they will seal to your block perfectly, and there will be no problems installing it !

Stay tuned !

i don't wanna rain on your parade, but you can get 2.2 covers in a junkyard for like, nothing. just go pick one, and i'm sure you can find someone to coat it, but if you're just wanting black, i'm sure some time, and a little header paint could do just want you want.

Did you notice that the engine pictured has a distributer rather than the computer controlled coil-on-plug set up? It won't fit late model Ecotec 2.2, 2.4, or 2.0 engines.

Around here the Ecotech engines are rare in the wrecking yards. I pulled one off a 2004 2.2L Malibu and it is not the same internally as the one off my 2006 2.2L. It will fit but I didn't know if the different baffling would affect my car so I didn't put it on.

I am just saying I like the looks of it. I'll probably end up powdercoating mine something like that.

Anyone know if you can just order that motor?

I am not sure what kind of displacement that motor has so i'm not too sure. If someone can give me a part number i can tell you a price.

Nice site! Thanks for posting.:cssNET:

It is a neat cover.

I painted the valve cover I picked up in the wrecking yard but went ahead and ordered the Modern Performance PC VC anyway. When I compared the two side-by-side the MP PC VC appearance was more professional looking, and more closely matched the Victory Red of my car. The PC coating is thicker than paint and definitely harder. I'm happy I went with it.:)

the 2.2s in the malibus and the larger saturn (what ever that was called) had a different cam profile, i THINK that it was made different for that, but a cavi one is a direct fit.

what are the chances of some chrome plating peices be able to be done???????

or a arrival blue color

:nono:


or a arrival blue color:twothumbs

in the gloss.............. any ballpark on $$$, or did i miss that?!?!!

I would want one in an orange color. I was told that the sunburst orange would be a very hard color to match with powder coating but id take something close to a burnt orange.

how much?

must have blue......

Just received the valve covers today.

We have black, and red wrinkle valve covers, and red, black, and yellow gloss valve covers.

Ill be posting pictures later tonight!! Thank you all for your patience, these look great !

i just called yesterday and ordered one

If you go to the Modern Performance Website and look under 2.0 engines they have their new color Powder Coated VCs pictured. They also dropped the price to $169 - for a new GM VC plus powder coating that ain't bad!

Can't wait to see those pics. :twothumbs

Here are the photos as promised !
These valve covers look great, and because they are powdercoated, they are durable, and long lasting! These finishes wont fade, or easily chip.

We start with a brand new valve cover with gaskets from GM, then we powdercoat them and bake them at high temperatures to seal the paint in, making it very durable.

Pricing on these is $169.99, NO core needed. Just buy, and install for a great looking engine bay !!

If youd like to get one for your 2.0 SS, call Modern Performance ! Toll free 1-877-247-6366

Cobalter LS, shipped your strut bar off to you today ! =)

i thikn i might take a black rippled coat off your hands depends on how much more i need to invest in my motor

Group Buy anyone??? :lol:

i want a gloss red but is it just me or do the gloss look really ripply in the pics? not bashing but the finish looks rlly bad on the gloss ones, or am i looking at it wrong

I purchased a red 2.2 VC from Modern Performance and the coating is VERY smooth and glossy. But I paid $199 and had to buy a gasket....GRRRRRR! Lucky 2.0 owners:lol::lol:

I would possibly want black. Is there any possibility that you could have them polished Modern?

EDIT

Hey modern, I was just looking around and found this on ebay. I was just wondering If you would be able to produce something with this kind of finish.

Any valve covers for an '07 2.4SS? I'd def be interested in either a black or white one.

Modern Performance is powder coating a red 2.4 VC for me now.

Call Cory at Modern Performance -- I'm sure he'll provide you with one of any color that's available.

How much does it cost?

Mod Perf doesn't stock them, so when I ordered my 2.4L VC it was a one-time deal -- and I'm a repeat customer of theirs.

Call them to get your quote -- if enough interest and real buyers want them maybe they can charge the same as the 2.0 S/C valve covers listed on their site.

We have ordered a 2.4 valvecover from GM for CobalterLS, and we could easily powdercoat one for you at the same time if your interested.

We have never done a white one, it would be hard to keep clean, id strongly recommend the black instead.

Please give me a call, id be happy to help you with this, and your timing is perfect !

I had a coil cover for a Quad 4 engine powdercoated white once and was never happy with it... It did seem to be impossible to keep clean!

paint it blue thats what i did!!!

Yes, you can paint the VC and it will look good for a time before it fades or loses some color.
My experience with powder coating has been that YEARS later it still shines nicely. The color coat is a lot thicker and tougher than paint too -- it resists cleaners and solvents better.
I also like it that Mod Perf acquires a new GM VC to powder coat -- so the cost, when you take that into consideration, is not too high.

...and you'll still have your original one to put back on the car before you trade it in or sell it. Leaves you with your powdercoated one to make a few bucks back on.

Would you be able to bare aluminum polish a 2.4 valve cover for me? Also how much would it cost?
