they are 350 with a core charge of 100 so if you send your core back they are only $250

check your math. This ZZP deal is a good one, hydrographic printing I expect and the price is decent. But cores are an issue. So in this instance, if I read their site correctly you pay for the cover plus the core, get the core money back when you send your cover back. Good system. We dont charge for cores on our PC program and it takes for ever to get stuff back...maybe we should follow zoomer's lead!

price is $250. +core charge brings it to $350. send in your old valvecover after receiving this one=$250 final cost.

zzp's site auto updates the price after drop-down menu's are selected. so i can see where people get confused where they see $350 on top and then "add $100" and thinking its $450 when its actually $250 final price.

i would buy one but they already did a black pc one for me

I'd rather go to a local powdercoater and find a used cover for $50. And I actually did lol. Most of my parts are ZZP but when it comes to coatings I'd rather trust my local coater.

oh my bad
Was home for a min from work and didnt read the info on zzp's page. But still to me 250 is still quite a bit. Im sure it takes time and work to get it done but still.
Looks good though for sure
How much time it take to get after ordered? (LSJ)

Yes it is hydrographic printing with a automotive clearcoat to withstand high temps.

if that is not a mistake and it is 250 exchange, then its the deal of the century. Good for ZZP. Loki has one it looks great but he paid more than that at CED and Tom doesnt sell them anymore, cost too much lol

They look cool.

If you want just powdercoaded red or black go with MPX. It's less than 100.00 shipped in the end and the core is worth 150.00.

Don't forget you're gonna need a new set of gaskets so add that to the final price.

So new cover doesnt come with gasket?
And how long does it take to make after order is placed?
Could the core payment be bypassed if it was picked up from ZZP instead of shipped?

it takes about two days for the process and as far as the core charge we would still have to have a cover to get done so picking it up would just make getting your core return refunded faster. It does not include a gasket but you can reuse your stock one.
