(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: k9t8m

What kind of options do we have for valve covers for Gen 1? I was thinking about actually taking off the beauty covers to show the jewel underneeth, but want a different look. Post pics of what you have. Thanks

Valve covers or spark plug covers? There are not any "options" for valve covers or than painting, is that what you mean?

Toph i solved my same dilema with my 98, i powdercoated mine chrome, i also did chadly's ford blue, and jesse from lod i did his red and his intake red, i have valve covers in my shop i can powdercoat or you could take yours off and not drive the car for awhile and send em, or just paint yours, but powder holds up way better than paint, i also did my 98's intake chrome too, and chadly's intake i polished it then powdercoated it chrome, his was smooth as glass.

Posted by: jamie97lsc

I just want the sound of a blower.. nah.. then i'd want the power.. then i couldn't afford tires.. then i'd wind up breaking stuff everyday.. I just wish I was rich enough to have that blower.. lol

Those valve covers are sweet Jamie. Ill definatley be getting ahold of you soon about those.

I like those Ford Racing coil covers, to bad I dont have COP's.

I would ike to find out where to get the oil cap thought.

Posted by: Roadboss

The Ford Racing stuff is from Max at 5 Star. Those aren't coil covers either see the spark plug wires. If you are going to use both as above you will need to clearance on corner of the cover itself with a radius grind to clear the oil cap.
