Decided to go BACK to redtop. This cover might not make it on the car. It will be used as a showpiece for my painters work. I will be offering custom valve covers on the genki style store. Still working out the details on how it will be done and all, but here is a taste of what we can offer.
For the color, I told him that I wanted the person looking at it to be offended, feel dirty, and a bit turned on. He had his heart set on red, so we had to compromise *I hate the color red* The final product looks like a red sequin dress that a cheap whore would wear *or an expensive drag queen* I like it this way
