For those who don't already know, hold onto your shorts (or Depends for =

Inclusive of shipping charges, it came to about $135. I don't question =
it's cost. This cover is machined from a billet of aluminum. The =
breather vent is machined with drain-backs, and the quality/finish is =
somthing that I am proud to have on my car. Based on the fact that =
these a machined in low quantity, the set-up time alone is significant.
Now, I said the cost is in-line with what I would expect for such a =
part. The value of the part will depend upon the individual. For me, =
it was worth it. For others, I am sure they would see it as "a fool and =
his money..."
