CF is bliny for me and usually a rip for small pieces. I used to race boats and one layer in a 36' x 10 catamaran Skater was 5,000 extra. Grant not finished or exposed bt still not the prices I see for a door handle cover or some other crap. I was going to buys some Katech aluminim covers for onlt a little less.

The cost well, it could be my birthday present

Thanks for the link!

I think there will be an issue with F-bodies. I installed TFS 0.5" valve cover spacers because the stock valve cover would not clear the CC roller rockers. With these spacers, there is insufficient room for the coil pack on the pass side. I have only the front bolt in on this coil pack. Also, the spark wires are pulled tight.

The CF valve covers are 0.75" taller, 1/4" more than my 1/2" spacers.

But, I love the looks, I wish they were no more than 1/2" taller than factory.

When running spacers your supposed to use the truck wires
They're slightly longer.
