I'll answer for Jason since he has to work tonight. They are the fabricated valve covers that are available on eBay. They came polished. We wanted them to match the anodized red FAST fuel rails. We tried to get them anodized but the company said the welds would come out "pinkish". We had Airborn Coatings powdercoat them in a transluscent red. We painted the coils cyber gray metallic to match the intake and air lid. We then painted the coil brackets in silver to obviously match the car. Thank you for the compliments.
