Default 7.3 custom fuel filter cover

A couple of years ago, I got tired of looking at that old plastic cover on my F-250 7.3 turbo-diesel. So I build some pattern equipment for the Foundry down the street to cast some 356 Alum. covers. We machined and engrave them, and sent them to be chrome plated. Looking at marketing them, what do you guys think?

Thanks for any input!
Harry

A few years ago you could get a similair one off of ebay, someone was making them, the one I wanted was the "t444" engraved one. My factory one broke years ago, I have not had the cover on since, I might be intrested in one.
