The BEAMS is a completely different engine. It's a 3S-GE.

Yeah but he was just digging on the red colored valve cover - he didn't know about the Beams being a different engine.
You can also paint your valve cover with High temp engine paint and be sure to use lots of brake caliper clear coat. In the end after all the stuff is hooked back up to it and the throttle cables are back in place, etc. it will look as good as powdercoating. It won't be as durable to things like dropping a wrench on it but it will be waaaay cheaper and you can do it yourself in like two hours including drying time.
I did it on my last 6th gen but I personally think a clean valve cover with the correct badging applied looks better - less ricey.

If you want - check out my engine pic in my profile - I personally think my engine is beautiful (just my opinion). I even have the ricer wire covering but I think it rounds the engine out pretty well. Notice the TRD oil cap and radiator cap. They are way pimp and you can get them at any descent Toyota dealership (or waaay cheaper on e-bay but they wont be authentic usually).
