If you are considering powdercoating, then pitting probably wouldn't be as much as a problem. I recommend the aftermarket covers...they give a much cleaner look (IMO)...

didnt you have a set????
Got any pic's of them on??


JMBLOWNWS6,

Dont worry man its all good... It doesnt bother me.

I might try the green in the lines. I do think that would look good.

thanks guys

You know what I would say Looks trick none the less but a set of mean valve covers in there. We could even engrave something in them for you. I have an awesome Nasty Logo on a set

however id suggest the ones from nasty or have the holes filled.
lol.. why would he do that if there is a whole section for those kinds of things??


Go for filling them in. If they don't work out, then drop the dough for Nasty's work.

I'd get the Nates, but get them Billet. When compared to the welded ones, the billet are ultra nice.

HMMMMMM I'm starting to like the Na$ty Performance ones more. I think you should go with 2 driverside ones and have no oil filler either! Just have to remove 4 little bolts to put oil in

That would be ULTRA slick!
