is that really a spoon cover? does it have a rough finish like the oem texture? or is it smooth like its powdercoated?

do a search...theres two types of spoon valve covers the magnesium and standard

my weigh test showed me that the valve cover weighed in at 1840g compared to the standard 2600g
i guess my boys at aj-racing ripped me off and gave me a lighter valve cover with yellow paint ohh well
