I'm trying to add some bling under my hood. One of the biggest eyesores is my spark plug cover. Does anyone know where to get a cool aftermarket spark plug cover for an S14 SR20DET? Chrome or carbon fiber would look cool. I'm thinking about painting it, but am concerned that it might peel off since the part is plastic. Has anyone painted theirs without it peeling? If so what kind of paint did you use?

you call the s14 SR spark plug cover an eyesore? do you by any chance think that neon lime green honda del sol's with altezzas are hot shit?

Stock is best... just keep it how it is. If its scratched up, buy a new OEM one. If you're so rice inclined, go with a CF one, I've seen them on eBay. Search for coil pack/spark plug cover.

Yea, mine is scratched up, and looks bad. I don't see any on eBay. Where could I get an OEM cover?

I believe Superior Nissan stocks them.

They're in SoCal. Ask Google. Dunno if they ship.

Here is a rare S15 carbon fiber one made by HKS. I am not sure whether an S15 one will fit an S14.

Here is a billet aluminum one that I made. This one was chromed by a friend of mine. Another friend of mine with the 510 above actually modified this S13 one to fit on an S14.

There are usually some slightly used ones on eBay for ~$25 as well.

It's not much work to cut and drill some holes in one yourself... I have done that with a piece of aluminum for a certain Zilvia member in about 15-20 minutes time and he has been for some reason jerking off waiting to get it engraved and polished and all that good stuff. Chroming/powdercoating would be just as easy a feat in my opinion.
