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

 

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

 

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

 

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 **** 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!!!

 

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.

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 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!
