Gotcha...found it.

Ok here's my noob question...what's the benefit of this, other than now having something that could be polished up?! (which is a very good reason in it of itself IMO )

 

Although I've never had a serious problem with the stock one, the aluminum one will obviously be stronger and not prone to cracking/splitting. Will look better and should seal to the motor better.

 

Cool. Thanks

 

My original idea for it was just for looks. Although I doubt that the OEM one ever fails too often, but I'm sure the ALuminum would be more resistant to cracking.

 

I am seriousily interested - keep me posted on developments

Looks like there is more interest than I originally thought. Thought id be flamed for bringing it up lol

 

You can never go wrong w/ a little bling

 

I had thought about this too. Ever since I seen the one in the Japanese mag. Did'nt think about it too seriously though 'cause I was'nt near to that point of putting my engine back together. You definately get the credit for getting this going though. Big ups to you!

 

Ya'll got me all curious now. Can ANYONE post a pic of what the infamous JDM one looks like?! lol
