Default Valve cover options

Interested in seeing what all options we have on valve covers.

I have seen the ones on ebay for 80-150$ but am kind of weary of leaks unless someone has heard a lot of good things.

Not looking to spend 400$ but would like a nice looking valve cover.

i would go with the holley valve covers. I have them in black krinkle and i think they look great. Just get yourself a set of LS2 style coils because the mounting holes are different spacing on ls1 coils.

Should have clarified... WITHOUT mounting tabs.

I have my coils relocated with no plans on putting them back.
