Wow! From a Moderator! Damn! I have the receipt to prove it was powder coated. It was in my car overnight and with the wonderful -2 degree weather we've been having there was a little condensation on the top.

For a bigger pic, you just clicky the picky.

Looks great. That's been on my list for a while, I just haven't been able to justify it since it doesn't do anything but look good...

I have painted a few different colors. Like blue steel (zoolander hmmm, hmm) and Black. I always keep a spare vavle cover laying around in case anyone wants me to paint one so I can do it ahead of time without their car lying around in parts for hours.

If you like at the times we posted, I was typing while he apologized. And I apologize for my behavior.

Quick question... when changing the Valve Cover Gasket,can we use one for a 2003-2005 Ecotec 2.2L since it's the same motor? My local auto parts retailer don't carry any for the cobalt. He said it's too new of a car. lol
