Color doesn't matter. If used, not damaged or scarred/beaten up. If anyone is selling an extra pair, I'm in the market!

Thank you. Saved me hundreds of dollars.

V1lla1nous, when you receive your set of valve covers from Trunk Monkey, will you please reply back to this, or send me a PM saying what color they are. I'm assuming they are Edge Red, like what comes on the car, but perhaps not.

Thanks,
Richard

V1lla1nous

You got it.

Strake

^^^ Did you receive your valve covers yet? Were they Edge Red in color?

thanks,
Richard

Richard, they took awhile to get here. I just got them last Friday or so and they were edge red, same as the ones installed. That means less prep work to paint them and for the price, you cannot beat them.

Excellent ! I just need to see how much of a pain it is to swap these out...... a few of the bolts look tough to get to unless you have 7 ft long arms LOL !

I've got plenty of long socket extensions and universal swivel socket adaptors, so I should be OK. Just been a low priority for me as I've been adding carbon fiber from one end to the other in the past 2 months.

Are you painting yours with a rattle can, or having them painted professionally?

V1lla1nous

I'm going to rattle can mine gloss black and two coats of clear. I just want them tucked and hidden but still presentable.
From what I understand it's about 4 hours of labor to remove and reinstall them properly so prepare for a huge pain in the butt haha

Strake

Sounds good ! It sounds like you will be doing the swap yourself. Would appreciate hearing back from you after you after you do it. Curious if there is any spots to cause issues, or pain in the butt.....

thanks,
