I was thinking of painting my valve cover, but I talked to a friend that said there is a seal on the valve cover and then I would have to reseal it when I put it back on.
Is that true?

The gasket expands overtime. So if you remove the valve cover, you might end up buying a new one. It costs like $20-$25.

I would actually love to have it color matched! I think it would provide awesome contrast with all of the red.

so I cant just unbolt it, paint it, and bolt it back on?
I have to replace the gasket if I take it off?

I want to have mine color matched.
My dad would do it so I would only have to pay for paint which is like $30

Yes. You can take the valve cover off and put it back on. It really depends if you need to change the gasket or not. You should purchase one just in case.

Spoon reservoir tank covers serve three purposes. One, they help keep the reservoir tank caps in place during racing and spirited driving, helping prevent spillage of vital fluids. Second, even if the caps are jarred open, the tank covers help contain the spill and minimize fluid loss. Third, the tank covers prevent dust and debris from accumulating on the tanks and potentially contaminating the brake fluid. The reservoir covers are sold in a pair.

Thanks for the info! Do the caps really fall short on their job at higher speeds? Looks clean though, if for nothing else...

I've never had one come off, but I know it tends to be popular with people doing autox/racing.
