Im bored and just curious if anyone has painted/powdercoated a mugen VC? The color it comes in looks good w/some shades on some cars.... but for the most part its ugly...

Does this decrease its value also?

i think they only person that would paint the formula head cover is somebody with lots of moneys. cuz i wouldnt want to alter it unless i had a spare. which wouldnt be likely cuz i wouldnt want to kick down another 800 bucks or whatever it goes for just to have a spare.

 

On a side note, is there any performance to be gained from a mugen VC? or isit just jdm bling?

 

it's just jdm bling, my car performed just the same with it on or off. but like integra type s said, unless you have loads of cash to burn, altering a genuine Mugen VC is not smart and likely to depreciate it as well.

 

helloooooooo thats why u buy a fake one for 120 bucksss

 

some people may even think its fake if its not the 'right' colour

i heard that the valve cover has like little spikes on the top to drip oil back onto the cams right at the lobes. im not sure if this is true, but its what ive heard. btw ur car looks DOPE on the ce28's man

 

Notice the baffles... I don't think the fakes have them.

 

not too sure, but i'll pull the VC one day to confirm this for you. thanks for the compliment, your type s is gorgeous.
