There was no gasket under the vavle cover. I popped it off and there was nothing. Was kinda surprised. Oh well. I dont have oil shooting out every where yet LOL. Let alone the fact I forgot to cross bolt them down (stupid me). What breaks can be fixed :D

I was thinking of doing the same thing with my valve cover. I have all this blue paint left over from the calibers and drums maybe ill just use that.

Did you paint your Steeda intake also? The color match is like perfect if you didn't. Awesome job....

Sorry Jason but I had to do the same mod. I just painted mine Inferno Red (same colour as the 2005 Dodge Magnum) but it's not dry enough yet to put it back on. Here's some pics!
