Default polished valve covers

Ive been talking to a buddy of mine who works at a foundry. he was saying if there was enough interest he could make some polished aluminum valve covers for about 100bux a pop. So im just trying to see if people would be interested. they would look similar to stock covers but wouldnt have any badges. would anyone be interested in something like that?

My mom works at a foundry, and my step dad is a pattern maker. It would cost alot more than 100 bux to make something like that right. He won't even talk to me about making honda ----.

I think thats why he said if he can get enough interest. if he did make some, he'd prolly do a big batch. They have made some pretty dope stuff there. I wish i could own a machine shop and a foundry lol.

I have a polished valve cover. it took 2 days. if someone wants one they can work 2 days and buy one or they could sit and polish for 2 days, either way it works out the same.
