New LSJ Coil Covers I made

I thought some may like to take a look at the coil covers I made. I had three but I have sold one to a local guy. Here are the two finished ones that I am keeping.


Yes, there is a little Stig in the middle of the cover!

Thanks.

I can see now that the title could be a little confusing.

No worries. I'm a little dyslexic from time to time.

I can look into some contacts I have if there is enough interest to do a small run of them. Do you have anything that you would like to see on them? I can draw them up so I don't think costs would change assuming that the design isn't super complex.

I'm a big fan of that one as well. It turned out really good. I'll look into producing these on a limited run if there is enough interest.

I wish I had the equipment to make my own coilovers. That would be awesome.

Bluelightning. I could paint them with colour match to match our paint colour as well. I was using engine paint because the top of the valve cover gets pretty warm but I think I could get away with a base coat of that with the colour match on top.

Learylax3r - I will keep you posted.

I have a quote request out for the pieces and I will hopefully find out today and then work on the pricing from there. Shipping, even to the states shouldn't be too bad as they are flat and relatively light.

It gets warm yes but not hot enough that regular paint won't work. Mine is painted right now with non high temp paint.

I figured regular paint would work fine. I think most automotive paints are good up to around 200 C anyways.
