Last month, I decided to take the plunge on some CF valve and rail covers from Carbon Effects.

They were delivered today. The fuel rail cover might be going back. Bill had an issue with the finish on the original one he was working on for me, so he offered up one he already had on hand so I wouldn't have top wait. Only issue was the CF weave is opposite of the Valve cover. The finish also looks a little different. You can see it in the second picture below. He offered to redo a new fuel rail cover if I wasn't satisfied, which of course is appreciated by this customer!

Other issue with the fuel rail cover is that the recesses for the mounting bolt are so thick that the stock rear bolt threads won't bite. So for now, I only have it secured with the front bolt.

Also have some linear scratches in the finish of the valve cover. I'll be shooting Bill an email to see if there's an easy fix.

I'll keep everyone in the loop.

In the meantime, here's some pics!



Notice the difference in the appearance of the cf between the two






And you can see the linear scratches below the green arrows below
