Default Blue JDM valve cover?

I saw blue JDM valve cover in the hyper Rev magazine and the Honda twincam ITR. Anyone know where I can get one? Looks just like the JDM one but blue.

Mike K made his own, retained the factory wrinkled finish and all.

its really hard to get. When I was at Honda twincam back in Sept, they told me that even they didn't have them anymore. I would just get a normal valve cover and paint it with a thin coat because thats exactly what they told me that they did. They said a thin coat of blue or high temp blue paint is all they used.

Hmmm...I will experiment with a cheap valve cover to see if it will work. I want it to keep that wrinkled finish.

yeah just do really thin layers and try to use as least amount of paint as possible. Less= more of the stock look and feel according to Honda twincam.

The only blue valve covers Honda makes are on certain versions of the Accord and Torneo sold in Japan. They fit DOHC VTEC H22 and H23 series engines and F20B (a destroked 2.0l H22a derivative) engines.

J's racing has a blueish/green valve cover. I think a shop is doing a group buy on them right now.

Just out of curiosity: How much does a yellow Spoon valve cover cost, and can you even get them?

Mario found the yellow spoon cover on their upcoming website, so spoon will probably have it in their catalog soon, but they don't sell it now, as far as I know back in feb when I was looking for one. I'm debating on keeping the stock red color or get a custom andonized spoon smurf blue or go all out yellow or partial smurf blue and yellow. I dunno!
