you will need coil brackets tho, as 98 perimeter bolt valve covers have the coils mount directly to the valve covers. 99+ center bolt valve covers have coil brackets that mount between the coils and valve covers. Also need the center bolts and different gaskets. Just a heads up so you know what all you will need.

Another option is to relocate the coils if you dont want to get the coil brackets.

you can buy just the coil brackets from gm, and i think they are pretty cheap, maybe $20 each so thats an option if you get just the covers, but when you add gaskets and bolts its gonna add up.
