The valve covers and anything that is pretty much for looks is not bad. Everything else though I would reseach. Put it this way, if you GAVE me an OBX LSD i wouldnt put it on my car.
The valve covers are fine though, I had one for about 6mts

Then it's prob. the gaskets, not the valve cover itself.
Aside from it being bling, I haven't heard anything bad about them.

Re: obx valve cover? (mach3lude)
Let me add my 2 cents:
I was duped on EBay into purchasing an OBX red valve cover because I didn't notice how it was being advertised.
When the cover arrived it looked ok, but it was not the quality of the OEM unit.
The raised letters for VTEC were rounded off as if being hand machined with a grinder with little find ruts in the letters.
There was also a fair amount of overspray on the underside of the VC... and I didn't like the idea of using it when it was going to be sprayed by hot motor oil.
General construction quality wasn't bad... but it certainly wasn't OEM.
