I've seen one, not sure where you can get one though. I'll do some searching and see what I turn up.

I'm awful glad I got mine when I did. They had just came out with the traction control cover and I was just about to send them money when their website went down and they went out of buisness. Never did find out what happen with any of them that they made. Who Knows?

HAWKVERT,

How well does it fit with the FRC's? Did the FRC's have to be cut for the cover to fit or does it just overlap it. I ask because my frc's are uncut and my Throttle Cable bracket is modified to allow the frcs to fit without cutting.

Mine fit will no problems also. I guess depending on which fuel rail covers you are using you might have to modify alittle I'm not sure.
I am so glad that I saw this thread today. Because, I was doing a search for the MBA Products looking for who was selling the throttle cable cover and then I looked at the WS6 Store. Low and behold under "New Products" for March is the traction control cover that I have been waiting for ever since MBA went out of business. What's the chance that I would find it on the first day its available for sale. Thats's so awsome that I ordered one. High polished of course. Thanks guys for the heads up !

I have to agree with you there. To bad they weren't offered in chrome. I have entertained the idea of having all my MBA stuff chromed. It would be alittle expensive though.
