Valve covers?

Does anyone make Vlave covers for a 5.4 engine, something in either Chrome or Carbon Fiber maybe? It just looks too plain for me.

I looked at that site. I'm sexually aroused. Even at $700 I may have to do that, wish they had a pictures, but one helluva site.

Greg, they use to have a photo of the valve covers. I bet if you e-mailed them, they would send back a photo of the carbon fiber valve covers. The ones I saw on their old web site was the red carbon fiber covers. As you said, they really looked great!

Greg,
I am adding carbon fiber valve cover to both of my Lightnings soon. I may be able to help you out. I will not be paying $700.00.

Cool

These were home made



Jim@JDM deserves all of the credit for these babies. He was the first to modify the stock covers that I know of. He showed me how it was done and then I spent close to 40 hours sanding and smooting these things. They came out pretty sharp.

I haven't seen any available for the 5.4 motor. ML motorsports is where the ones from speedworx come from.

They could probably do a set for you. Yes, they are expensive but they are well worth it. I've had my set on my Saleen for a few thousand miles with absolutely no peeling or cracking. They have a very glossy finish. I also have 18 more pieces of real carbon fiber on my Saleen, its addicting!
