Billium...those look awesome. My valvecovers are currently in the process of having the coil bosses removed (thanks to Hugger SS). When I get them back, I'm having them chromed. I'm assuming you can just ship your covers to bright metals of the heights, they'll chrome them and return ship? That $180 sounds alot better than the $300 I was quoted here in Pittsburgh!

I'd be a little hesitant to chrome the vc's after having the coil bosses ground off...sure seems like it would be difficult to get that same finish on the end product. If you can though, I can't wait to see them.
