Whats the name of your company? Do any race car stuff? Any info would be appreciated.

BTW, was that baged, or in a clave?
Bagged stuff tends to be porous....just something you prolly know already <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Those look sweet, are they all carbon fiber? or just a cover? Are you going to sell them, and if so how much? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

They will be functional replacements
made to clear aftermarket valve train .

First ones will need to have the coils relocated
also they wont use stock gaskets , will have to
use silicone sealer .May sell them as blanks
so the user can drill there own holes for PCV
oil filler cap etc.... Mounting holes will
be drilled.

Also centerbolt covers will only be available.

I am thinking of a package like this
Pair of Covers
New Bolts
Tube of GM sealer or equivalent
Plus Shipping&Handling

Havent decided on a selling price as of yet
but wont be too crazy ,but not giving them away either ,there is a lot of work into each one.
Plus the process is slow .

But will be in the range of 250 to 350.

I am hoping to get them out soon but not until I
work all the manufacturing bugs out.
