Fair point, but it seems that the set up costs and machine labor get translated into retail sales at a pretty high markup on billet parts. I just can't see spending $600 on valve covers, when a retainer plate can be made cheaply with the addtional advantage of looking relatively stock when compared to something like this:

Although beautiful, they are flashy. The RothSport units are IMHO, kinda ugly, to boot.
