Instead of mitsubishi stamped in it, which is a good idea I would like that, but a stamped "dsm" with mitsu, eagle, and chrysler emblem would look real good. Or how about DSM on top and 4G63 on bottom.

i dont think it would melt as just a valve cover or a cover for the valve cover i know it isnt touchin the engine but a hood is close to it and it doesnt hurt it and all the heat from the engine bay and what not

If its made correctly it shouldnt since a lot of top end cars/race cars have them.

Carbon Fiber is cool and all.... but IMHO this is a fail situation. Were talking about a high temp, oiled up torqued down piece.

WTH would that matter?? If you get much if any pressure in your valvetrain/valve cover area, you better be getting a new motor.
Carbon fiber is used for driveshafts, quality carbon fiber would not break from torqueing down the valve cover. Besides, I barely put 10 ft lbs on my valve cover bolts.
The thing I would worry about is chemical/oil resistance properties of carbon. I don't know if it would degrade or not. I know it's stronger than any metal, but I'm not sure if it resists oil like chemicals do.
