you just looking to add that engine cover? If so, DGM sells a cover/cover that looks similar for about what MSP/MP3 valve covers sell for.

Do you want just the plastic cover, or the valve cover? I thought the MP3 one was the exact same as what is on my car. I think they just add a plastic styling cover to it. Is this correct?

Anyhow, (my personal opinion): If you want to dress up the valve cover, buy an exact replacecment from a local junkyard. Then, clean it up and send it off for powdercoating in your color of choice. Matty (Roddimus Prime) has a business that could do it for you. I've always thought a red one (to match the strut tower brace in my P5) would look great.

yeah...I'm waiting to find a red P5 owner who wants to do a wrinkle finish like the new MSM's...I bought the powder to do the wrinkle red and IO'm waiting for something to try it out on.

stewards in my kingdom can have it for $50. I'm not taking orders right now though until I get my new lamps in. My ovens I just bought burned all my electrical...$600 down the drain.

I'm not understanding why yuou want the msp/mp3 valve cover....it looks identical to a stock fs-de cover except it has four studs sticking up out of it. If you don't have the ENGINE cover for the valve cover it's going to look stupid.

If you want the cover/cover look just buy the DGM cover. It's cheaper than buying both the valve cover and engine cover from a msp/mp3.


Since you're local (sorta) we can work something out on them but I'm not currently doing any powdercoating. I've just taken on 2 new supercharger kits and I'll have to order new lamps before I can coat anymore.
