This is manufactured by Forsaken Motorsports. You can see the watermark in the top right corner of the photos.
This was posted on another N54 forum a few days ago. Type Forsaken Motorsports into FB and you can find their page with more photos. I've never heard of Forsaken Motorsports before and they seem to be mainly into Motorcycles. |

I just dont see the it in the cards for myself based on price alone. billet valve covers for other platforms are half that price or less. Market dictates i suppose. They will ether sell like hotcakes (in which case others will move in and the price will drop) or they will sit on some shelf collecting dust. ether way im glad to see someone try, it will just need to be around the <$7-800 price point with some performance or convenience advantage. Yours breaks too often? ive never seen one fail to a point it leaves its driver stranded unless it was from gross neglect, and I can only assume most owners wont keep theirs 35 long enough to need more than two OEM's in their time of ownership. Just want the bling? well then that mindset throws all logic out the window doesn't it.

It looks cool, however this is one of those mods that many of us could afford, but will not buy just because it's way overpriced..

It's a great looking piece but it's purely for the bling factor. Likely someone with a really clean high HP setup that just wants to take it to the next level of being different in the engine bay.

I can see someone with a top mount single going this way. I'm not interested in that much HP to care.

This is an absurd piece.
I will say that the amount of machining and material makes things like this expensive. Given how many people say pass, volume is not going to bring the price down either.
