Exclamation After Market valve covers?

Tall LS1 valve covers? Cheap price? Does not exist.

Those aluminum ones are pricey because they are either welded up out of sheetmetal, or they are machined from a chunk of billet. Both take time to produce. I'm kind of disappointed that the cast covers (C5R, etc..) are so expensive too. Maybe someone should produce some stamped steel or plastic covers for our engines.
