Aftermarket Valve Covers?

I've seen alot of the same stuff on the internet, ranging anywhere between 75-400 bucks, just wondering what's good and what to stay away from.

I'm looking at this OBX JDM style valve cover, it mentions 'OEM' quality several times but idk what to think.

OBX JDM Red Valve Cover 92-96 97-01 Honda Prelude VTEC | eBay

do not buy an aftermarket valve cover. EVER!!

get an OEM Genuine Honda valve cover that has been professionally powdercoated. There are places online that sell them. There are people on ebay that sell them. You can find shops in your area that will powdercoat your own OEM VC.

There is even a guy on this forum that will powdercoat your OEM VC to any color you want and he does a banging job!!!
