Default Mnaifold cover

Okay, I needs some opinions. I am looking at purchasing a manifold cover for my C5. I have looked around and cannot make a decision. I was hoping that members of the forum would chime in an give me some input as to what they suggest. I think I would like to go Stainless Steel but I have not ruled out Carbon Fiber. I realize everyone has a different opinion or suggestions. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Mind you that my FRC's, Fan Cover, and Fuse Relay are Torch Red, and I anticipate adding Torch Red Covers on my tanks.

1 vote for CF. Or you could be a little different and get Kevlar...

If you are considering stainless, I would suggest chrome plate instead. Stainless will scratch rather easily. It cost more but worth the etra cost.

I have a mirror stainless cover on mine and I use a little rejex on it with a micro fiber towel when I clean it. It still looks as good as when I bought it.
