    Man that is over the top, love it!

    Now all you need is the carbon X-brace. Christmas is coming. It's a slippery slope, LOL

    What Dodge should have done, for all of these cars. The factory covers look like crap, and are almost an embarrassment when asked to pop the hood for viewers.

    Nice You have to get the X Brace
    what would also look good IMO is to take the front Grille and brake ducts and have them carbon dipped

    Technically these aren't valve covers. They are valve cover covers.

    Anyone have a pic of a GENV with these plastic shrouds removed and the valve covers exposed?

    EDIT, this is impressive:





    Second edit, ya, definitely not something you would want to keep a cover off of:

    I would be interested in a group buy on both: (a) the carbon fiber X Brace; and (b) the aluminum/carbon fiber valve covers.

    Let's do it!

    Jon B?

    Others?
