That looks sinister! It also looks like it means business, not just an appearance mod! Well worth the effort!

No issues, I just took the oil cap off and stuck a breather on.

That looks very nice, Interesting that the coils are moved to the top of the cover like that, never seen it done that way. The valve covers themselves look great too! Again, nice job!

Never cared for the high mounted coils, but the valve covers definitely look great.

And wow. $100+ for coil covers? I'd get chrome paint
