its cool looking wouldn't mind having it,
but since its fake its a shame that its $500

[nando]

yep, that's fake.

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

not real, IIRC Alpina never made a valve cover for M20's

Are you kidding? If I could get my filthy mitts on one of those, I'd keep my M20, and get a clear acrylic hood to show it off. :D

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

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

m50:

RD ones come in every variation, it would seem:

Without graphics sure. The graphics on that one were painted by me. I don't know if they have obd1 covers in carbon though I can't say I really looked for them. The Dinan and Racing Dynamic versions have their logos on them though.

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

For the knowledgeable guy you are, I'm perplexed you are telling me that plastic cant be painted.

Never once did he say you can't paint plastic.

[jackbenny]

Are those available with the oil cap opening at the other end, and without the graphics?

those look really nice!

but you forgot to mask off the parts which shouldn't get painted.

Powedercoating is impervious to heat, oil, gas, solvents etc. In fact 2 4mil coats and #6 glass beads won't even take it off. Some of those parts have been on a car for at least a year.

The only thiing I have found that will remove it is a special coatings remover, regular aircraft stripper just makes it dull.

EDIT: If you are talking about the threaded holes, I bottom tap them before installation.

Wow! Some nice covers :D

Here's some powdercoated ones I did at my shop...
