Default Where can I buy some good Carbon Fiber valve covers

One of my current ones on the Red Witch is bubbling so I am looking for a alternative.

same one, never got it replaced. He's not real eager to buy the same ones again since the guy didn't want to warranty the one he has. Kind of a bummer, his is an older style bought a while ago, but new to him, the car just got finished.

That is not exactly correct. He mentioned selling me some at discount but told me to think about it and let him know and he would do whatever I wanted. The impression I got was he would replace them if I insisted but he didn't feel like he should...but he would. Just doesn't sit right with me. The one cover is junk thru no fault of my own and I'll be dammed if I'll pay another nickel to replace a defective product. If it was my company I would want any defective piece with my name on it out of the public eye. If I can find another carbon cover I will use it or I hve a new set of plain tall aluminum covers I can put on if I get to the point where I can't stand looking at this cover.

I would run the carbon fiber covers with a big fat sticker of the guys company, And then take it to a show for all the world to see how great a product it is. And send him a pic, that would be justice.

the real ignorant thing is that it is on YOUR car.. that will be in alot of places and seen by alot of people..

thats pretty much a dealer suicide.

Maybe he didn't feel your vehicle was high profile enough..

My Katech covers are so very sweet.. they can even be custom engraved (if you can't find CF ones)

Having done business with Charley (clill) and also purchased the Aluminator from him, I can say without hesitation he is honest and has great integrity. If he called me and said the part he bought from me was not right I wouldn't even question it.

This is one of those things that shows why I dont type much on forums. the question was who makes some, and now we are talking about Joe or Bob and how carbon tech something another is a sucky company.
