That would be the spark plug cover, not the valve cover, right?

yea thats my question...cuz the cf dash kit is only $150...

edit: i just called em and they said they have both...the "real" cf is 20% more of the online cost, so the dash kit would actually be $180...does that sound like a pretty decent price?

NO...geez man...havent you SEARCHED...every ounce of carbon fiber will automatically reduce your car's weight by 2lbs. If its REAL CARBON FIBER..every ounce will remove 5lbs.!

hmmm...i wonder how they stick carbon fiber onto plastic...i heard that's really hard to do and it'd start peeling if there's too much heat..
