Default poll....which valve covers should i pick up?

i'm kinda on the fence here...i've got my GMPP valve covers sold and i'm on the fence with what to replace them with. it's pretty much between the newer style GMPP covers or fabricated ones...OR something i'm not finding that also looks badass. let me know what you guys think, here's what i currently have:





here's what i'm considering:

I like the 454 lsx ones, but voted wrong. If you are selling those other ones soon, I'm interested

I don't like the look of fabricated sheet metal VCs - just looks too half assed to me. The LSx ones would be cool if it wasn't for the big GM Performance parts emblem ove 2/3s of the surface. My vote is for the 454 ones.

anybody have any other suggestions? i wouldn't mind a set of carbon fiber covers, but i don't like the price you have to pay for good ones that actually seal up and don't leak oil...

I voted 454... Looks nice, and I think you should advertise/show off what you have.

i'm retarded....seems like i went through this before. i'm pretty certain that you CAN'T actually buy the LSX 454 valve covers without the $10K+ crate motor bolted to them....seems like i tried to get them before but forgot all about the major PITA it was just to learn that the shop GM used to make them went under, or something like that....


EBAY TO THE RESCUE!!!! item number 150577896648....i just bought 'em

I like the 454, but I don't think orange would look good with a red car.
