Aliexpress Valve Covers

Curious if anyone has bought and installed these covers? Significantly cheaper and I haven't found anyone having issues on them.

One of the Malaysia guys here got a set and apparently one of the sensor screws was loose and had to be retapped. So QC isn't the best. No long term reviews tho.

I was looking at the Bavarian Autosport (ECS) ones which i believe are just rebranded same as the Alibaba ones linked. There was a guy on the Facebook group who has been running these BavAuto ones for several months now with success, but then I also saw someone mentioned they had some imperfections in the coating (Alibaba sourced?).

I'm DIYing the job - and ultimately the extra few $$$ to not have to worry about it steered me away. I was planning on going down the NRW path as most do - but VTT had a MDW sale on so i ended up scoring a set of those for the same price as NRW and preferred the machined/CNC look. I also ended up getting the NRW spark tubes, NRW silicone throttle body couplers and a few other pieces i'll do in one hit.

For the VTT? I haven’t installed yet. Only just ordered. Will try over the next couple of weeks.
