FYI: 2010 Evo X Plastic Valve Cover
Some sad news today for any of those who are planning to get a 2010 and may want to sport an exposed valve cover...
Apparently, MMC decided to go with a plastic valve cover for 2010's!!
I don't know if it's due to cost, or NVH???
Nevertheless, it definitely does not look as nice as the aluminum that some guys are sporting.

I think you are mistaken. The change from 2008-09 to 2010 is that the plastic cover that we have that is red and black is not made of a type of fiber which is less expensive and weighs less.
The valve cover IS NOT plastic

Outlander V6 has a plastic intake manifold (and that's with a variable intake, no less).
Dih, dih-dih! Thanks for the insight! LOL!
For all those doubters, I'll do my best to remember to take a pic when I get home.
But trust me...it's plastic!
