Brake master cylinder cover?

I've seen plenty of these on Hondas and such, but only one made by Ralliart (which went for more than I was willing to pay on Ebay) and the seller had brought it back from Japan. Does anyone know where to get one of these? I figure it's relatively cheap and it couldn't hurt.

Bless you. I don't care if it's Ralliart or an off brand or even *gasp* Mugen. I just don't want to be ghetto and put a sock on it or some dumb ****. I'd like to get an actual cover.

Hunting for a pic as we speak. Basically, it's a cloth cover you put over the brake master cylinder in the engine bay for 3 purposes:
1) Prevent engine heat from heating brake fluid
2) Prevent overspill of brake fluid after hard driving, because brake fluid eats paint
3) Dress up your engine compartment

Bingo. Here's the Mugen one on a Civic (which I may buy if cdyancey can't hook me up - they're about $12; just slap a Ralliart patch over the Mugen... heh )

I think a mugen one would be a little silly on a lancer concidering they only make parts for hondas. Just my opinion

Well, as I said, just remove the word Mugen. Or point it to the back. I wouldn't exactly point it forward and get a big Mugen decal or anything.

Besides, it not like Ralliart gives a flying **** about us here in America.

Trying to get Ralliart parts is like trying to buy weed. It's possible if you know where to go, but it's still ****ing hard.

Well, yes, a sweatband could work, but I'd at least like to think I was being somewhat professional... at least until I hook up the ghetto CAI...

I'd also be interested in a Ralliart one. If he could come through, i'd buy one. We should get Muramassa to get another JDM group buy going. I have the Ralliart grill, need more Ralliart to not be a poser!
