New Roush Valve Covers
These came in today. I don't know the price yet.
|
Those are nice!
|
sweet looking
|
$2,000 and $3,000 with the Air Cleaners (for stack injection).
|
SWEET!
I wonder if they will fit on my crate motor? %/ :rolleyes: :LOL: :p |
$2k?
Are you high? These are handsome but the black finned Cobra ones aren't THAT different. Man, too much cash by 2x. Just my $.02 |
Saw those covers at the ROUSH booth at SEMA last year, they look a lot better now they were a bit rough. $2K.... Considering we would spend $200 for an autograph on our glove box door or dash, makes them kind of .... not so expensive!
|
I am spending good money for my cobra so like it our not I appreciate how much it cose to get the right look....... but 2K for valve covers is rediculous.
|
I can think of better ways to spend $ 2,000.
Way too much money for me to spend on valve covers. Why so expensive, anyway? (Must be the name) Randy |
This is for those who have run out of better ways;)

I agree, that price is WAY tooooo much. They are just valve covers right?

$2,000.00? Makes sense. $1500 to Carroll, $300 to Jack and $200 to have them made outside the U.S.!! Besides, someone has to skin the fake snakes

2K is a lot of money!!!! I spent an arm and a leg for mine ROUSH valve covers, waited 6 months for them as well. But it is the look I wanted. There is a bunch of CNC work in each cover and the quality .....
|
I saw them with the matching aircleaner cover on Shelby's personal coupe at Hillbank a couple weeks ago and they are very nice. I was quoted 2500 for valve covers and air cleaner cover which is a high price, but the look like I said is very nice.
|
Do they jump into the car with you and mimic a scantily clad and buxom blonde on her first Cobra ride every time you fire it up?
"Very nice"?!...........................2-3k worth of very nice!? I'm afraid that reality has slipped through a few grasps. Steve |
I don't know why these would be $2000. I just got my engine from Roush last week with the valve covers/air cleaner that SPF1715 said he saw on Shelby's personnal car for an additional $1000. Have picks of it out of the crate and the engine in Shelby's car. They do have a carbon fiber look??

My purpose of posting the pics was to show something new on the market. I didn't say everyone had to buy a set. There was a reason I didn't give a price. There is a lot of work that takes a solid billet block of aluminum and turns it into these. If you would like to see the motor these go on, check out my gallery. That's it. The end.

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? :D
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". :rolleyes: This is a rough crowd, ya know. ;) Lowell |
Mitch,
IMO that is one awsome motor! Is that a picture of yours with the stacks on it. The valve covers and top of the stacks looks like they have a carbon fiber piece? I don't know about you, but after the money I spent on my car, when it came down to valve covers/ air cleaner, another $1000 seemed like a drop in the bucket to get something that I liked. Some people might not like the commercial aspect of Roush, and I don't hear a lot of love for Shelby but I still love the engines and the cars they produced. |
