Oh yeah, style for miles Now I have to bring the rest of my engine compartment up to snuff. Glad I got these on eBay - you don't want to know how much they cost new

Chrome plated. I wouldn't have bought them if they were polished due to how much of a pain it would be to repolish them.

I would hate to put coilpacks on those.

Why don't you consider the coil pack relocation kit?

I've thought about it... but since the coil brackets are chromed too I think it'll look fine. I'm debating painting my coil packs, but I don't know what color yet. My engine compartment is BONE stock right now.

If you have red as a secondary color you could buy MSD Coil packs. Or go the cheap route and just paint the coils.

Considering what you have, I think you got a great deal. I ended up w/ 2 sets of valve covers and extra, new gaskets due to some poor planning on my part. Buy the time I have the extra crap sold, I will probably have $100 into one new RH valve cover; one nice, used LH valve cover; new gaskets; new cover bolts; and used coil brackets. Not bad, but I think you got a smoking deal. Good job. And by the way, I do not think coil packs would look bad if you painted/cleared them black, or maybe some other color in line with your color scheme.

Yeah, I gotta buy the heads they go on before I can install them, lol. I've got a '98 with perimeter bolt covers. I'll definitely get pics when I install them.

I got them for $178 on eBay brand new. Street and Performance charges $265 to chrome your stock valve covers and $140 to chrome your stock coil brackets. I'd say I got a good deal
