Default Yellow Type R valve cover???

I came across this on options auto salon today and was wondering if this is a genuine honda part...To my knowledge, I don't ever remember seeing a stock issue yellow valve cover before...Can someone give me some more info on this? TIA....-Vic
Item#: HON-TRVC-Y
The YELLOW JDM Integra Type-R valve cover is the perfect accessory to dress up that engine bay. This JDM valve cover even differs from the U.S. model in that ' VTEC ' is the priority lettering versus ' DOHC ' on the American version. These yellow valve covers are very limited to quantities on hand!
Note: Limited Quantity.

I've never seen a yellow valve cover from a factory, I always thought it was a spoon thing.

ditto to that. I know Spoon has a yellow valve cover for sure. I think they have a specail marking on it though. Dude it's just a valve cover.

Also I wanted to mention that Kingmotorsports/mugen suppler has new BLUE oem valve covers with the same texture as all dohc vtec valve covers.... kinda cool i think but I would love to see someone who becomes a valve cover ****..

I think they have yellow valve covers overseas on certain cars, but red is all
we americans see and accept as jdm.

My factory (JDM/UKDM) valve cover is BLUE.

Spoon balanced motors doesn't come with a Spoon valve cover. Also, there is no special marking on the Spoon valve cover too. But they do come in a Spoon box now.
