Is there any interest in people getting a billet valve cover?

Joe @ Locash CNC/Racing has said that if I can generate enough interest in these he'd be willing to make them. Below is the B series valve covers which are significantly cheaper because they are significantly less material and machine time.


Here's the latest version with stepped machining to taper down



Here's the older versions:





As for features, I'm thinking 2 -10 AN breather ports. Would people prefer them on the side or the front?

Cost would be $1500.

 

Nice but not $1500 nice.

 

So the B series cover is half the price? GTFO.

$600 is reasonable for the bling factor and deleting the factory-pcv...$1500 is like...alot...good luck tho, because it's going to look sick if he does one.

 

$750 HOOK ME UP~!

$1500 no chance!

 

Joe is my next door neighbor. He told me point blank it's 4 times the material and machine time, and if he's going to do a run it has to be profitable to him. If you look at the B cover, it's significantly shorter than both the F and K cover which is why he hasn't made one to date, because he didn't think people would want to spend the cash due to the significant increase in materials cost and machine time.

Oh and to be clear, This would be Joe @ locash doing it, handling the payments blah blah blah. I'm just seeing if there is even any interest because I want one. I updated my OP because it's clear you couldn't understand it.

 

Personally I'd never pay that much for "bling" especially on an item that could just be powdercoated at 1/5 the cost and still get aesthetic results.

 

you guys have no idea when it comes to manufacturing... $1500 is dirt cheap for this piece. the material alone would be around $400. the machine time would likely be somewhere in the 20 hour range for a decent finish. if you were to go to a machine shop for something like this they would have to draw it up in cad first which would probably be about 4-5 hours and they would likely charge somewhere in the range of $2500-$3500.

While this is very true, it still doesn't change the fact that it's $1500 for something that no one would reasonably pay $1500 for.
