Valve covers with coils inside I've seen these billet covers that are a cover within a cover that mounts the coils inside. Basically the second billet cover goes over the coils with a slot out the bottom for the wires. I Searched this site and others. I can't find them. Can anyone help?
I've seen all sorts of other billet covers but not like those described above.
Thanks
Jeff

An equal waste of funds...
What don't the factory coils do again? They're fine the way they are. If you want to hide them, paint them, or use the factory covers.

i think some of those look a little too tall. i might be wrong if i see them on an actual engine,but from the pics they just look like they would stick up a little too much.
i think the gmpp covers painted with the coils relocated are the best looking stuff out there. katechs arent bad either

Personally I like the look of the relocated coils with some aftermarket valve covers. To each their own though and there are some advantages to having such short spark plug wires.

Dumb idea....
But the coil manufacturer's will love you...
Wouldn't those covers keep the heat in and heatsoak the coils ....
There are dozens of Corvettes, Hot Rods, and F-Bodies running around with our covers and I have yet to hear of a single coil failure.
