    FYI I'm having my valve covers professionally powdercoated in red crinkle to match the Nismo Omori engines:

    I found a place that will do it and guarantee the longevity of the finish. When it's done I'll post up about it on GTRC but if you're interested in a high quality, classic finish that will add value to your car PM me. I'm just doing my set first as a test and if it goes well I plan to arrange with one of GTRC's sponsors to take the project over and offer it to other members (since I'm too busy to do this on the side). I should have things done my mid-late July

    I got mine done in Nur gold. That would also suit your metallic orange paint job well!
