Default sr20 valve cover

This^ plus get a new exhaust manifold and your bay would look pretty spiffy.

This makes me miss my SR20 as well as making me rage at the horrible painting I have to fix on my new car.

we were going to do that, but we were also shooting for a different style with the valve cover, but some things happened and we just decided to leave them gold and do the lettering on the cover
