    I just tried searching for a while and couldn't find one. :( I want a CF coil cover so bad.

      Janderson, looking for an m50 version, or s50? (I'm not familiar with what models had the oil cap in what locations)

      RD ones come in every variation, it would seem:

        1+ I want one bad too! I would buy it to just hang it up ;)

                  yep, that's fake.

                  whoever buys it is getting screwed out of nearly $500.

                        Fuck me, that's it! Thank you so much for finding that!

                        The RD one is cool, but it's a kit that includes the coil cover and the injector rail/coil harness cover, which I'm not going to be using, I like the way it looks better without it, like so:

                          Yeah, when I clean up my m50 engine bay next spring, i want to do the rail/coil harness cover delete plus something fun with the valve cover. the CF one is too spendy for me. hell, you could buy a sheet of CF vinyl and drape it over the original cover for cheap, and I bet it would be hard to tell the difference.

                            But it would be fake, and I HATE fake CF. I have something fun planned for the metal valve cover, and the CF coil cover will be the perfect compliment to it.
