Hi Guys and Gals,
Ok, I thought I would show some pics of our newest product from NuPar. These were designed for anyone using Mopar Production valve covers and air breather.
They are CNC machined(in the USA) from 606-t6 aluminum and are available either in a satin or black crinkle finishes. The hole diameter is 15/16" for standard  heater hose.
I would appreciate any and all feedback.

Pretty neat, how much?

:iagree: X2

As most know I'm a stock boy through and through, but I will admit those look super cool.  If I was running those value covers I would buy those to go with it.  Nice job!  Almost to nice... I would be afraid to use them they look so good.  Like art.   :twothumbsup:

WOW!!! Those a really sharp looking.   Thanks,   Al

That is really nice. I think that would add a nice touch to an engine compartment.

Those look nice.

Are the ends where the hose pass through radiused? Looks like a machined sharp edge against a rubber hose, may cause issues over the long haul.

I think they look awesome.  :drooling:
Some Mopars use  (1) 5/8 hose and (1) 1/2 hose....guess it wouldn't really matter, the small hose would still fit. :alan2cents:
What about the spark plug wires ? :thinking:

:iagree: those do look really nice.  I wonder if a version could be made that looks stock for us OE guys?  :dunno:  Not to fool any judges, but just to help clean up the look.

Thanks for all the positive comments guys!

The sharp edge has a .01" radius and the hose is held securely so I don't expect any rubbing issues since the hose is not be misdirected.

Now for the big question, price. I have proto cost and am awaiting production cost. I would like to keep these made in USA. I will post  cost as soon as I have it.

fc7cuda, these could be made with a top surface that is just flat for more of an oem look. This would be lower cost also if this is what you are thinking?

Cheers!
