JW Automotive introduced us to the solid billet CNC alloy rocker cover at the VL nats a year or two ago. Thats the only other one i know of and its fitted to Johnny 'bolt king' Hyde 'SHERIF' silver 8 second streeter.
I think Noonan's on the Gold Coast are the ones who actually make them.
Big build mate, hope all goes well. Cheers

19-02-12, 08:41 GMT+10#275 Thanks mate, Have a look in a copy of Street commodores K-SPORT has a full page add for them.
As for how they are........ im not sure i havnt driven the car yet but i can tell you fitting the front coil overs arent a straight forward bolt in job they require you chopping the standard struts up so you can use them a support sleeve for the coil overs to slide down in and then you weld them together into one unit.
As you can see in the photo while they were still wrapped up theres a silvery gold sleeve under the blue plastic they slip into the strut towers after youve cut enough off .... look at these two photos and youl get it.
