Carbon Fiber Valve Cover????
I've seen numerous pictures of valve cover with a carbon fiber finish. How is this done?

obviously, it is not a DIY project...it has to be produced just like a carbon fiber hood...

Actually...
You could just buy the carbon-fiber roll and stick it on the Valve cover. I mean, how much does your valve cover weight? It's not like you're going to lose a lot of weight in making a pure CF one. I still think painted is more classy, but whatever floats your boat.
