$56 for the part, $15 for the shipping, and probably about another $15 for the core return, making a grand total of $86! NICE!

 

refundable $65 core fee upon core return. ive been looking at getting one from them, but ive got an awesome powdercoating place down the highway from me ill use. but looks nice

 

The core fee is refunded, so I didn't include that in the end price. I assume you will be powder coating your current cover. That leaves you without a working engine while the work is being done.

 

So you're getting rid of the polished one?

 

Grats man

I've been watching e-bay for 2.4L covers for awhile now, but never see them. Then I realized that Crate Engine Depot sells new valve covers, so I'll probably just buy one from them to have powder-coated. When I get around to it... lol

 

Yes. It simply doesn't hold up to regular driving. It corrodes quickly. The powder coated one is much more maintenance free. And my cover took some damage the last time I tried to polish it. So this is a great option for me.

 

yea thats where i got the idea to do mine. I got a spare cover for $40 then had one of my buddy's coat it for me. Also as a heads up your going to need another gasket cuz the stock one won't come out in one piece. Here are a some pics of mine installed.

 

I like, I like alot!!!

 

That looks real good. Do they have them for 2.0 SS/SC?

 

Looks great!

 

Looks good, and nice price.

 

Very pretty! But why not just polish yours?

 

Good question.

 

i like my smooth valve cover over the old ribbed one. but i would get a spare valve cover somewhere for cheap. ive got people.

ME LIKEY THAT COLOR! got it matched to the strut bar? i just got my dc strut bar in and thought i would like the valve cover matched to it.

 

I didn't even realize that it matched the strut bar but i guess it does. I actually just liked the pic of the one on ebay and asked my powder coater if he had something similar and he said his color was called smoked chrome and it looked good to me so thats what i went with. I got a spare cover from someone on here so i wasn't without one for several days. If anyone needs one PM me with an offer

 

I did actually. Last year. It doesn't hold up to regular driving. It tarnishes very quickly. I'm keeping my core, so I'm going to try to polish it again and get a bare metal clear coat done to try and seal it.

I didn't see any LSJ covers, but they could most certainly do one.

 

Weird man! I did my Cavi's cover and it looked like chrome till the day I traded it for y Balt. You must have polished it the wrong way.

 

i would but................

 

Yeah, that new L61 cover is kindda boring.

 

i actually like it, but stock wise it is boring. it does say ECOTEC, on the front though. lol. i just want to powdercoat it.
