Talking valve cover effect.

To create a valve cover like the one seen below:
1. Remove valve cover
2. Make cuts to valve cover in designated spots using grinder or sawzall.
3. Paint valve cover white
4. Place valve cover back on miata.
5. Start car and find the nearest rodent (if rodent can not be found you may use neighbors cat or small dog) and slowly slide into spinning cam gears.
6. Then clear coat and enjoy.

I accept no responsibility for lawsuits that may incur if you use this method. Do at your own risk.

also you may want to consider some kind of Twilight theme or perhaps something from the sanitary napkin genre.

Glue some bits of fingers from a fake hand from a Halloween shop just inside the lower cover with some more red paint for effect. It looks like there is room.
