ok cool. i noticed that if you stick your head close to the engine bay you can still see that they arent stock, maybe some spraypaint will do the trick. thanks

paint would throw off the balance y0

you don't change your cam gear setting alot, so just buy a backup valvecover and put it on before you go to the dyno, and take the upper timing belt cover off while you have the valvecover off

You really make no sence at all haha.
There is really no way to make it look stock so just put the cover back on if your so scard of the cop.
