Would be cool to have black available..

Have options for slotted, drilled or both slotted and drilled vent options. but it would be so dope!

I'll put up a feeler soon to see who all interested in them. Please let me know any other ideas you guys might have for covers. I can see what it will take to get that done.
I thought the same about open on ends would be okay. My covers are Stainless Steel so it may dissipate heat differently.

Coil failure occurred after about a year of using covers. After having to replace coil packs and ECM once did not want to go through it again.

Those are quite a bit smaller than the ones I made. They look great.

I wonder if I can get a set of Titanium ones done.
Polished possibly aluminum covers from a QX4

Awesome pix Marty of the GTR engine bay with tons of work by Randy Riggs of R-Rydes!

Great job with putting this together along with other engine bays of members of this forum!

Love the ARP fasteners as well... Ballin!

I saw this monster in person... and oh my gawd! BEAST MODE!

Here's pix I took from my iphone:





I love how the 60 mph on the gauge cluster is near the bottom and it goes over 220 mph! Daymn!
So it's hard to tell how fast you are going when the needle is pointing downwards!




Randy did the same with my engine in my G35 as well, but obviously not a monster engine like this one, but polished pretty much everything himself, including over 200 bolts by hand! The other parts were done by Kaliedoscope.

These cars are known for having awkward dipstick design, and yes indeed they are horrible at giving good readings.

Mine is painted blue (they are originally yellow) you can see it next to the oil cap.
