BLACK FRIDAY SALE!!!
www.rd-metalwerks.com
All items on our website now "say" Black Friday Sale, but in full transparency everything is still the same price it has been since we opened 2 years ago. We started this company on our tag line "Unicorn Parts @ BDSO Friendly Prices" We price our products just high enough to cover our expenses because we love and support the B15 community. We don't have enough room in our prices to offer extra discounts and sales, but we hope to have your support getting a portion of your Black Friday shopping!

Super busy day in the R&D Garage today and another long day planned for tomorrow. We are working hard to get all these orders for aluminum valve covers customized and out the door by the end of the month.

Aluminum Valve Covers are in! We received the shipment of aluminum valve covers from the supplier and are starting final preparations to customize them for everyone's orders.

If you ordered the AN Fitting Option please check your email because we need to know what size fittings you want us to use.

If you ordered custom 1 stage or 2 stage color powder coating check your email for the invoice to pay for the cost of the powder paint. These invoices must be paid before we can order your color.

If all emails are answered and invoices are paid, you should expect to see your order ship by the end of April. Please send us a DM or email us [email protected] if you have any questions.

Thanks to all who purchased aluminum valve covers for the 1st & 2nd Gen QR25DE in our first pre-sale event. We are in the process of ordering everything from the supplier overseas, and waiting for them to confirm the lead time to have them delivered to us in Minnesota. (We sold a bunch, so likely we will have to wait for them to come from China)

Everyone that placed an order is a LEGEND! and we will be emailing you with expected lead times early next week. Those that ordered custom powder coat will receive an email invoice to pay the remaining costs for the powder paint. We try to split to costs whenever multiple people order the same color.

If you have any questions in the meantime please hit us up in Messenger, or email us at [email protected]

Hey All,
I don't mean to spam all the Sentra groups tonight, but I wanted to follow up with answers to some of the questions that have been pouring in since we just launched our customizable aluminum valve covers for the QR25DE.

1. What does tab removal mean?
A1. Sorry, I thought this was more common knowledge, but there are 2 tabs on the right side that use to hold some wire harness clips. Most people shave them off when painting the valve cover to cleanup the looks. They don't serve a great purpose. (see picture, I circled the tabs in red.

2. What is 1 Stage vs 2 Stage Powder Coat?
A2. Choose any color you want from PrismaticPowders.com some colors are solid 1 coat colors (1 stage), and some metallics, candies, or special colors require a top/clear coat. DM us with your powder color and I can let you know if it's 1 or 2 stage. (The orange color in the original post is called Illusion Rootbeer and is a pretty close match to Volcanic Orange, It's a 2 stage. The Illusion colors are all 2 stage)

Please DM or email us with any other questions you may have.
