Here are the 3 I am thinking about, which one should I get? (Car is black, BTW and the brake calipers are red, so color coordination would be good ) Dan Temporarily UnTalonted. I want an RS4.

Lovely ain't it? Back to another Mits. A Mirage Cyborg as a future 4G63T candidate. "I've had more Mitsu's than you can imagine"

So I think that might have put the brakes on that choice. Still a nice cover though. I want an RS4.

The candy red one pictured above is actually a Hyundai valve cover, but it has the same fit and bolt pattern as ours. I am kind of undecided about that one though. When my motor comes back, it's going to be pretty ferocious, and that candy red one might look at little to "candy ASS" for a motor with the reputation of the 4G63. I might just opt for the bright red one with the nicely polished lettering after all. I want an RS4.

It's damn close, but not quite. The thing leaks like crazy so I'm going back to my old one now that I had it sand blasted and I just finished painting and clear coating it. I'm not saying you'll have the same problem as me. I'm just telling you mine isn't perfect. Plus I had to buy all new hardware for it cause the stockers weren't long enough. 1997 Eagle Talon TSi - JDM 6 bolt = SOLD! 2008 Mistubishi Lancer GTS 2008 Chevy Equinox
