I have had a few people sending me pm's about my valve covers and brackets so I figured I would post up a link on what I did.
These are the coil brackets that I bought.

The finish was satin so I polished them a bit before installing. The finish was super smooth to start with so polishing them was easy.
For the valve covers I cleaned the OEM ones up the best I could, sanded them, taped them up and sprayed with VHT wrinkle paint and baked them in the oven.
Here are a few pics.
This is how they looked before the polishing.

This is how they looked after the polishing.

I plan to get another set of valve covers and wrinkle paint them red.

Billet brackets for truck coils, LS2's, and LS7's are in the works. Brackets were relisted under the following link:

Still working on those brackets for the truck coils. They are much more difficult to engineer in billet form because of the clearance required for the coil snout. Getting very close though!
