How do you define real?

Type-R engines are DOHC not SOHC, so either someone applied some thick decals & painted over them or someone may have cut the letters out of metal and glued them on somehow. Either way, it is not a genuine Honda valve cover.

real as in authentic brand no knockoff so its custom then

"Type-R" is not a brand but a trim line for Honda in Japan. As previously stated, there is no such thing as a single cam Type-R engine. Therefore, it is not genuine.

I believe you mean if there are aftermarket valve covers for Hondas. To the best of my knowledge, I only know of Mugen valve covers and only for DOHC engines.
