    Looky what I found...

    Been wanting one for a long time, finally found the right deal so I blasted it clean and powdercoated it in the usual manner and this is the result:







    It's very heavy and the ribs are thick, so I figure they will acutally do what they were designed to do and dissipate heat. Makes the "ribs" on the stock cover look ridiculous. Anyways, I went to install it and OMG, what a difference it makes! I've seen them in pics, but in person, it makes such a visual impact, it has to be seen to be believed. Problem is, the bottom middle two bolts are too short to pass through the cover holes, so I am going to have to install some longer bolts to mount it. Pics will follow once it's installed.

    (and yes there is a defect in the "R", but I can live with it.)

                  Absolutely badass. My holy grail is an AC Schnitzer M20 valve cover. I will have one, someday.

                        lol

                        Maybe it's just me, but my holy grail is like a perfect 850CSi, or E34 M5 3.8, or Euro E28 with a 450rwp TCD M30...

                        But valve covers are fun too.

                            Awesome looking! Definately upload some pics. when its installed. Are you going to be selling your cover that you have on right now (black right?)?
