Cool Custom coil cover

I got tired of looking at the dull *** coils on the valve cover so I made a cover for them what do you all think?

Here's a pic of my temp sensor I installed into my intake filter (what is the temp of the air YOUR motor is pulling in? )

cost for me to make mine about $10 and about 2 1/2hr of work
I suppose I could make some for people if pirce is right
of course it won't look the same as mine but I can come up with other designs for the tops of the cover.

I'll make a few over the next week & post some pics with prices (reasonable prices )

Personally, I don't like it. The important thing though is that you do. Enjoy it.

I think the sharp angles on the edges and partially exposed bottom could use work, and the design just isn't my style.
