If only the AC at the house hadn't gone out yesterday.....

If you're addicted to cold turkey how do you stop?
I reject your reality and substitute my own.
You should do one in gunmetal gray.
M3 is always the answer.
Pretty! I may just have to call you guys...
If I don't have all these CEL problems ........!

Nice. You should grab some of the valve covers that don't have the timing belt guard on it. I'd buy one of those :)

Wealth, power, and experience are apparently not enough to save us from social influences. Groupthink, as described by I.L.Janis, is the tendency for group members to reach a consensus opinion, even if that decision is downright stupid (Janis 1982).
1. Buy valve cover.
2. Buy this:

3. You sell cover without front like your customers asked.
M3 is always the answer.
I think the problem is this... They currently stock 8 different versions... adding Gunmetal gray takes them to 12. Adding cut covers then takes them to 24 versions. I suspect that would be too much for Gary to stock. A better alternative would be for those interested in something special to contact Gary and see if he could include a 1 off for them in his next run.
What's the point of exposing the timing belt and cam gears? I'd rather have that covered instead of exposing it to under-the-hood-elements.
I just like the way it looks personally.

Thanks Titus.
From a business stand point, we went with the two most popular colors. Most people are fine with an uncut valve cover. There is already a great deal of prep work to powder coat these and keep the price reasonable.
If you have an interest in something beyond that, call us and we will see what we can do.
I have a few bare covers available. The labor involved in modifying one would affect the price unless you wished to do the work.
Isn't there another car out there with a valve cover that fits our car that doesn't have the cast cover on it?? I've seen it at a Wed. night GTG can't remember what the guy told me it came off of. It was another Mazda.

If it's the guy I'm thinking (I need to call him about my intercooler pipes still too), I want to say it was from a 1.6l Capri. Almost positive actually. His name is Josh...has the flat black vinyl wrapped NA.
And not to highjack the thread, but I have a spare 1.6l valve cover, and will be getting another in a few weeks. Just FYI, not trying to sell it here.
EDIT: Found a pic of the one I'm talking about. And I saved it on my phone as "capricover" so I would imagine I listened to him correctly when I took that picture. Hope he doesn't mind that I posted a pic of his motor here.
