The first thing that came to mind was 2.0l.
Since its advertising that it has fuel injection, I'd think that its maybe an older 2.0 cover maybe??

IM thinking its for the mp3 because you can see the little brackets on the bottom that may connect the valve cover to the sparkplug cover.....

That's a 626 valve cover guys. I just painted my brother in-law's the other day for him, and that's exactly what it looks like. I think he has a 94 626 LX. I'm pretty sure that's the only car that has the valve cover. I think it's a 16 valve 2.0L. You gonna try and use one for somethign????
