Manifold Cover

I am in the process of purchasing a stainless steel manifold cover and I am not certain which is the best way to go. I have found that are ones that are attached with velcro and others that bolt onto the cowl cover. The price for the velcro mounted covers runs 129.00 and the bolt on, which is where I am leaning, runs about 150.00. Are there any pro's or cons to either and is so, please chime in? I want something that will not scratch my painted FRC's.

I also notice that RPI is no longer advertising their chrome cover. Thus, I assume, Josh could never get it right. So that is no longer an option.

I've got the bolt on because personally I like it better!

I'd go with the bolt on type. I feel it stays in place more securely that way.

I have been thinking the same thing. RPI is having a problem with the chrome one but I talked to them last week and they hope to have it right and have it for sale again by April.
