Euro-R Valve Cover

[Milan]

Hey all,

Thinking of what mod I want to do next with my tax refund, I was thinking I'd really love to do the Euro-R valve cover.  I could just paint my stock one but I love the crinkle finish.  Anyway, I want to make sure I buy the correct one.  

Is this the right one for our cars?

Thanks!

All k-series valve covers are interchangeable (thank you Eli Whitney). So yes, the one you posted can work with the accord. Just make sure you get a new gasket set from the local auto-parts store or Honda (inexpensive really for the work it does)

Cool, thanks!  

Also, does anyone besides Password:JDM make carbon fiber spark plug/intake manifold covers?  I love the way they look but I don't think they're worth the $90 and $120 respectively.  Yes, I know that Mugen makes one too but $390 is just outrageous for a spark plug cover.  

It sure is purdy though!!

You can find that stuff on eBay too.

make sure you also get the black jdm Oil Sitck...like the one i have..i had a carbon fiber spark plug cover but i took it off when i got the Euro-R Valve Cover because it covers the honda emblem on the valve cover..but i also like how that mugen cover looks..

Yeah but it's cheapest on the site with the link above.

I'm just going to spray my dipstick black lol.  

Let's see the CF spark plug cover you have!

Plus I wanna say Mugen, Vision, Spoon, and Password:JDM all make CF spark plug covers for the k-series.

Milan, you could still paint your valve cover and get the wrinkle finish. Just buy the wrinkle paint and then you can even do it in whatever color you want.

I'm not sure if they make it in high-temp pain.  I assume I have to use high-temp paint.

It's so insanely vain, but after seeing your HDR photoshoot at Palm Beach, I really started considering replacing mine too.  Originally, I was going to paint it too, but frick, after those pics, you just gotta have that wrinkle finish!

Yes I believe you must use high temp and I believe they make it in high temp because most wrinkle paint applications are done in the engine bay.

Hey, I found a DIY for wrinkle finishing your valve cover

this site sells them cheaper

but that DIY for the wrinkle looks good.....now i am debating black or red for my car

[Slammedk24]

We sell back wrinkle paint made by VHT at work thats high temp, then you could just get a red thats close and spray over that.  I've been thinking about this for a while, I just never have enough time to do it

looks like doing it yourself takes a good amount of time...but i'd rather do it myself instead of drop 150 on a valve cover.
