A much cheaper (and custom) alternative would be to get your valve cover painted or powder coated.

I even have the shorter throttle cables since mine is an '04. I used a piece of wire and mounted it to the rear right bolt of the valve cover. I haven't had any problems in the last 3 or so years and it hasn't gotten any worse. Still was too late though [:(] | |
