OK: Look at it this way. If somebody handed you $2,000 and said "Get either the Roush valve covers or the 'Shelby' Superformance firewall tag", which would you rather have? 
Mitch,
You're right: There's a lot of machine work involved in making those covers from a billet, plus a lot of aluminum scrap, plus anodizing, plus a programming job for the CNC machine. Still...Two thousand bucks is a LOT of money for Bling valve covers.
IMO, If someone wants me to wear/use something to promote their product, the item should be free. For example: The last time I ordered from Summit, they sent me a hat. Hey, thanks, but I wouldn't BUY a "Summit" hat. If I have Roush build me an engine, fine, put on the "Roush" valve covers. Maybe I'll keep 'em; maybe not.
I think a lot of guys here are looking at those $2,000 valve covers and thinking "designer handbags". 
This is a rough crowd, ya know.
