i think he means the valve cover, not the spark plug wire cover. I think you will have to get used or buy one from the dealer. you will have to pay someone to chrome it or make it shine for you, no one makes parts like that usually.

we don't have conventional wires, but there has to be a way to get the spark somewhere. there are wires under that little plastic piece.

there are no spark plug wires. the little black things that sit on the valve cove are direct coil packs. the wires under the cover is really the wires from the computer to tell the packs when to fire.

the only place I know that really sell valve covers are places in Japan, my sponser can probably get them, but they are kinda pricey. I say just pay someone, or do it yourself, and buy the shiney clear coat.

Yeah, Pir8Pete got this CF cover but it was really flimsy and he got rid of it.

The coil packs do in fact hook directly to the computer with what would remind you of a parallel port type connection.
