Bling bling chrizzome type r power yo!
Trash, dont buy it. The chrome will tarnish and you may as well slap some type r stickers on the bumper while your at it. Just leave yours on there.

Re: Opinion on valve cover (GirlyGS-R)
Chrome= Bad
Polished = Good
heres why.
Chrome plate acts as a head sink, locking heat inside the valve cover, causing your engine to run hotter then normal.
You can get a similar effect visually by polishing the valve cover, and the polished valve cover does not act as a head sink.
Please don't buy it. If you want shiny, polish yours or buy a polished one.

Re: Opinion on valve cover (gumbybum)
I personally would buy a Mugen or ITR red valve cover, besides that bling bling *****. My car is alrealy hard to keep clean i don't need any more crap like that to polish over other week to keep it looking STUNNA style...just IMHO

heat sinks radiate heat for the
purpose of keeping something
cool.
maybe not the best
analogy for his valve cover
