I think it would have looked better with the honda and text unfinished.

main problem with non-metal valve covers is there is no way to ground your motor properly.

Good point...but its a good concept. If they could get that worked out then I think it would be pretty useful.

I have seen the same thing, but the plug and bolt holes where made of aluminum so that the grounds would work.

The valve cover has nothing to do with the ground. Remember the valve cover gasket, well that isolates the valve cover from the engine.
The stud however does, and that stays the same.

How do you know its carbon kelar?
Looks like it was painted red while a mesh was held over it.

Yeah, I meant to say that, really

That one might be fake, but I have seen one that was true carbon kevlar, so it can be done.
