Default 4V billet Valve Covers.

Check out these new 4V billet valve covers from GMS. They start out from a 107Lb piece of billet aluminum, widdled down to 6lbs, which is a savings of 3lbs per Valve cover. they fit 1999-2001 and 2003-2004 cobra's. let me know what everyone thinks.

Very Nice but I'm almost scared to ask how much.
You should send them to me so I can powder coat them for you

That could be an option, as for the price, yeah they will be pricey, i have heard anywhere from 1500-2000 for a set, but if you think that it takes 18hrs to make and 214lbs of billet, there is alot of time and material into them, so its hard to make a diamond out of lead and make it cheap.

Wow, 2k for a set of valve covers.

I got my set powdercoated by BraMas for like $150. That was for the covers and powdercoating.

Good luck selling that...

I imagine anyone that takes their car to car shows would want a set of these. I imagine the 2 people that ever end up owning a set of these will love them. But 6 pounds and a little bit of under the hood eye candy isn't worth 2 grand to me.
