Exclamation After Market valve covers?

does anyone make a tall valve covera that fit 99+ ls1 cars with A Reasonable Price?
i dont know why most valve covers are withen the range of 400-560, it make so sick when i see other covers for mustangs or small/big blocks that are so cheap and they are made from aluminum??!?!?!?

any one

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.
