SOHC valve covers...where???

Where can i get an SOHC valve cover in wrinkle red online? On ebay they only have for 88-95s and they dont fit. I need for a 98 civic. Anyone have one, and know where i can purchase this.

I dont think honda has SOHC WRINKLE RED valve covers. I believe these are aftermarket, not stock.

diamond bar honda has a full selection of aftermarket parts..... and, i know they had a red aftermarket valve cover. i saw it on the back wall just a few days ago.

but, i agree with painting it yourself..... one can of aircraft quality paint stripper and one can of high temp red paint...... spray, wash, spray, install, and off you go......

Re: SOHC valve covers...where??? (Ricey McRicerton)

my buddies and me go to junk yards but the covers and use the vht wrinle red on them and sell them on ebay people love them. the vht paint looks good. youll be very happy just buy a can clean up your cover real good with some paint remover and spray it. just make sure it is pretty warm when you do it or it won't wrinkle good
