Do they have to have the lame colors, the flag, or can we just get titanium with the ARC on it with no colors?

How much, if not horrible I could see myself sporting some

ofcourse genuine ARC.. If i can come up with enough people. He will contact ARC to get them lookin into producing them.

Yes Mackin is the distributor for ARC products.

The price range is around $200-$250 range..

Yes some might say its alot, but then again its ARC products they dont come cheap, but the quality and workmanship is sooo worth it..

Pretty sure they will make both full titanium silver, or the gradation titanium.

$200-250 is too much for me to spend for a cool cover that I am not going to get any performance out of as well.

Thanks for the offer!

That's why ARC isnt made for everyone.

If you actually price it up with the big names out there for wirecovers its really not that far off.. Considering Visions covers are around $120, Tomei are $150.. and they are just made out of alumn. and these are titanium.

doctor isotope sells his plate for $47:

if you buy something like that for $200+ you are just buying a name which is not worth it imo for a spark plug cover... sorry.

the gradation one would be nice tho, but not for that price.

Not trying to be an A$$ but.. for $50 thats what ya get.. doesnt even fit properly... i guess you get what ya paid for.. when someone makes a comment like " paying for a name" thats like why get mercedes might as well get kia.. just a name.. more than a name.. but hey thats your opinion..
