If you want to spend the money on one, go for it. You can paint yours and have it turn out just as well though.
And to post pictures, you need to find a host, and then insert it between the IMG tags.
It'll look like this (but replace the { }with a [ ]

the fact is though is that my motor is ACTUALLY JDM. That is why i am thinking to do a cover on it......d16a i guess is a pretty rare motor for a 92-95 JDM Civic....i was told anyways from hmotorsonline and a few honda gurus and brian saxon on here is a regular and he said it was rare.......either way it is JDM and i think i may go for it but not sure....anyone else opinion is welcome too - thanks

So because your motor is "JDM" you need an aftermarket valve-cover?
First of all, there's no such thing as a "Mugen Valve Cover" for any SOHC engine, like yours.
Secondly, if you really want a different look for your valve cover, take it off, strip it out and clean it, and then paint it. It will be cheaper than buying another one. Just make sure you do it right, and buy new gaskets. Good luck

Re: (WickedWerx)
if i were you man, i would leave it stock. the money that you would normally have spent on that pretty rainbow valve cover could go towards a bunch of new CD's or saved for later in case you come across something really sick.

its mugen, therefore its prolly a race only part set up for a dry sump oil system......
as far as a valve cover, you have a CF theme going, so try to find a SOHC CF valve cover. i know they make em for DOHC motors not so sure about SOHC though. im sure there is one out there somewhere
