(Thread Starter) |   Neutral : +1 score  Turbo_Steve's Valve Cover and HPFP cover review As many of you know, @Turbo_Steve; has been playing with fabrication of parts for us. He's also working to get vendor status here, and this thread will move there once established. I have received and installed the covers. These are aluminum panels that were powder coated wrinkle black. Initial review was of packaging. Packed nicely and no scratches. Both coated panels were plastic wrapped. Then they were wrapped in enough material to keep it immobilized in the box. Color instructions are nice and ended up easy to follow.

But I was able to remove the coil pack bolts without removing the hot pipe. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1445538839.278240.jpg Hardware consists of Allen bolts, a washer, a spacer, and a little rubber o-ring that just holds it in place for install which is great, when all 4 are hanging prior to install.

I slid into place, lining each bolt with the coil pack prior to tightening any. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1445539096.374563.jpg ImageUploadedByTapatalk1445539162.299217.jpg Hpfp was cake too. Same thing as before. Remove bolts, put plate and hardware on. This one used 2 spacers, but the little o-ring kept it right. Installed in a couple minutes. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1445539238.520808.jpg Fitment was spot on. I bet others will have a lot more clearance than I do. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1445539271.520627.jpg Covers the coil mess and looks clean. Not sure if this counts as another modification I have installed, but I'm claiming it. 6 now.
