dont these go for like $400? way too pricey for me, but they look kinda cool...esp if you can have portions of it custom painted. just leaving it full carbon fiber would be a bit cheesy, but having it painted to expose CF over the valve section or the middle would be awesome.....and if it were >$100 that is...

Not a great picture. Bad light. I'll try to get a better one in the daylight.

A picture of it actually installed would make it an easier decision, regardless I'm not a fan of engine covers so personally I'd pass.
