WOW. These valve covers are looking amazing. That blue is shockingly attractive for such an obnoxious color.

I, too, would love for a non-logo valve cover. I understand it isn't being offered, but it would certainly motivate my wallet to open if I could obtain one without M18 on it. I find the non-logo cover to look very OEM+.

Great product release here.
I will second that.

Did not expect but blue looks really good. It was hard to capture the texture but in real life looks much better. " NOT a Fan of Color"

We are offering Dual Radium Catch Can Setup and Cheap affordable Universal Dual cans strut tower support mount.. We will get some pictures by the weekend.


I already made my purchase for the valve cover but I am interested in the catch can set up. Going to be a nice combo with radium cans

As long as they are not captured like stock you can replace the fasteners for small money and get exactly what you prefer like you want a spike or acorn nut go for it. It is rare to be accessing those fasteners often. Any decent grade should be fine. Given the number of fasteners bevel or splits should not be needed.

Radium makes nice products. Their catch cans will look dope. Looking forward to seeing the finished product installed.

M18 should just offer it without the logo for a $25 up charge if it takes them all of 5 minutes to grind it off and make it smooth. That being said, any body shop can grind and spray it for small money. Or DIY. No one is stuck with that logo.

This is the right tool for the job. It will need 1 per valve cover. If you going to use regular flap wheel it will take much longer and surface finish not going to be good.

Anyone have the time frame for receiving my vc? I'm also trying to get it painted black is that still possible? It was not an option in May.

So... my order from over a week never went through, I got 4 error messages ( tried 4 times )... and was charged 4 times. Finally got all the money back and ordered again, through paypal this time and it went through. Can't wait to have some updates.

Just installed mine, it looks fantastic in the engine bay. Fitment is bang on and the stock/R8 coil plate is a thing of beauty. I've changed a couple stock N54 valve covers and I must say the M18 VC holds the gasket much tighter, I didn't have to worry about the gasket popping out at the rear while installing the VC. I'll write up a formal review in a couple weeks.

At the time that got posted I was told 4-8 weeks. So I think we're still in the time frame. Foundry's are not exactly the fastest working people :)
