Default Spoon valve cover owners

I figured I would get the most feedback in this forum, if not mods. feel free to move.

I have had a Spoon valve cover for about a month and the more and more I look at it the more I notice small imperfections, such as notches in the paint small runs etc. I am positive it is real I bought it from a Spoon dealer, whom I have gotten all of my other Spoon parts through. Does anyone else's valve cover have the same things?

Its Spoon, and Spoon Sports parts dont "sport" perfection. Sad, but true. But then again, the bling of the name brings the $$ and the will to buy no matter the condition.

My proof is in the countless stories of lips and carbon parts.

Toda is over-rated. 750cc Injectors are not.

Ive never noticed any runs in mine. The only real imperfection I have seen is a few bumps near the edge of the spark plug canal but thats about it. Like a few people have already said even though it is Spoon doenst mean it will be flawless. If it bothers you that much sell yours and buy another one.

I'm wondering if he installed it correctly or not. You know you should be able to read the the valve cover from the front of the vehicle right? You could damage the valve cover installing it incorrectly.

I have wristbands like those, but mine say "Corona" and were free at a promo night in Vegas. I get the best responses when the tech guys see them.

Len, look at you! Blingalicious. Looks like your getting ready for the big purchase, like I did with #122.

That is weird your Harnesses came with "Spoon" eye bolts. I'm so confused right now. I have the Takata MPH 340R's and all I got were those 'crappy jdm' Takata eye bolts.....

If you install it upside down, there's a 40% chance it may not seal completely.
