I'm sorry, but this is hilarious. If you've got that taste, you shouldn't be driving a $16-20k economy car. Anybody who blows $250 on an engine cover has way more money than they need.

hmm, you would say something
like that because...'minimum wage is ___'

'It`s technically daddy`s car, and daddy says no engine mods. Awwww. I do plan on putting an Injen CAI in and converting it to short ram.'

'When I hit the lottery: Kaminari reverse cowl hood. Ground ram intake also in the works.'

ALL THAT CRAP IS ON YOUR PROFILE.

just because your pay
is worse than someone's at a sweat shop
doesn't mean this thread and what is says is 'hilarious'.

obviously we know what you can't get.
in the long run...you're driving the same damn car as everyone else here.

awww...f_ag.

I really don't see your point. I make $20 a week working one day for a boss who won't give me more time because he's lazy. I could go 10 minutes away, work every single day, let my education rot and make $400 a week. And there is no way in hell I would blow that on a trinket that nobody sees/cares about. You're going to a car show. Good for you. I'm not. And unless your in the World Series of car shows, a $250 piece is as good as any.
In the end, i'd like to think I have a pretty good rationality when it comes to what I spend my money on. Although i'm happy for you if you can spend this kind of money.

ARC is great stuff! I would think most ppl here wouldnt opt to buy it. But I know myself, if I saw that in a car show/meet, I would be staring at it.

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..
lol your funny man. your comparing different cars to different spark plug covers.... a sheet of metal!

yeah u are an a$$. who the hell are you to say if it fits properly or not? do you own one of those? apparantely not. just because it is $50 doesn't mean that it is crap. just because it isn't "ARC" doesn't mean that you don't get what you pay for. it's just a spark plug cover! i have the one that nd4spd_4_a_tc's shop makes on my car, it fits great and looks great as well. but hey, if you wanna waste yer money just because it is ARC then more power to ya. i guess a small show piece means that much to you that your willing to spend so much and talk down on other companies with nothing to back it up. so keep on talking

I dont care one way or another about this stuff.. if you like it then by all means get it. But I will vouch for Doc Iso's stuff. He is a knowledgeable guy and I run his GearSwitcher package on my tC and would put it up against anything else out there as far as fit and feel. And he prices very fairly for what you get.

Not trying to take you off topic, but I feel I should vouch for him there since his stuff has been mentioned.
