    however, the cover does miss material to sit flush / net on the stud bases, there is a gap of 2-3mm and the washers provided are not enough to fill the space. So I temporarily used some weld studs I had laying around, I will measure and try to get the right size spacers. Also the holes on the cover are a bit tool large, so the washers are needed between the cover and the nuts.

    Looks pretty cool! I would report those issues to Karbonious so they can sort them out in future productions...

      I am a Karbonius fanboy and I'm not afraid to say it. High quality Spanish parts, what's not to love?

        Damn you for posting this!

        I was 100% convinced I would never want a carbon fiber beauty valve cover until I saw this... now I must have one.

        I like the vented design, making it "justifiable" as a heat reduction performance mod. At least that is what I will tell my wife to convince her I am not wasting $1300 CDN on some carbon fiber with holes cut into it.

        Add in some new "Performance" red or blue coil packs that one can see through the vents, and this becomes a MUST-HAVE MOD for all S54 engines.

          I really like the look of the smooth, CSL concept car one.

          The do offer it without saying CSL, too...

            They do, but I also felt like I already have an M, but neither my car is a CSL approximation, but at least is a coupe.
