Looks good but the logo kills the design for me. For how big the logo is you should be sponsoring people to run that thing lol
I already made my purchase for the valve cover but I am interested in the catch can set up. Going to be a nice combo with radium cans
As long as they are not captured like stock you can replace the fasteners for small money and get exactly what you prefer like you want a spike or acorn nut go for it. It is rare to be accessing those fasteners often. Any decent grade should be fine. Given the number of fasteners bevel or splits should not be needed.
Radium makes nice products. Their catch cans will look dope. Looking forward to seeing the finished product installed.
M18 should just offer it without the logo for a $25 up charge if it takes them all of 5 minutes to grind it off and make it smooth. That being said, any body shop can grind and spray it for small money. Or DIY. No one is stuck with that logo.

This is the right tool for the job. It will need 1 per valve cover. If you going to use regular flap wheel it will take much longer and surface finish not going to be good.

Anyone have the time frame for receiving my vc? I'm also trying to get it painted black is that still possible? It was not an option in May.
I think the wait is almost over actually. My spidey sense tells me @m18performance is on the cusp of an update
So... my order from over a week never went through, I got 4 error messages ( tried 4 times )... and was charged 4 times. Finally got all the money back and ordered again, through paypal this time and it went through. Can't wait to have some updates.
Just installed mine, it looks fantastic in the engine bay. Fitment is bang on and the stock/R8 coil plate is a thing of beauty. I've changed a couple stock N54 valve covers and I must say the M18 VC holds the gasket much tighter, I didn't have to worry about the gasket popping out at the rear while installing the VC. I'll write up a formal review in a couple weeks.
Where can I get this coil plate?
And what is up with that fuel pump?
edit: just realized the coil plate is part of the M18 optional items.

It looks like an N54 pump connected to the back of an N55 pump
@m18performance
Any update on when the rest of these are going to ship?
I ordered mine 6 weeks ago, and seeing all these others is making me a bit jealous lol.
I wanna be cool too!

At the time that got posted I was told 4-8 weeks. So I think we're still in the time frame. Foundry's are not exactly the fastest working people
Sorry if it's already been stated, and just to confirm, but what are the thread sizes of the PCV ports?
