For a little more you can buy the Edelbrock coil covers and they look nice because they get rid of the coil brackets and mount the coils to the valve covers on the bottom directly. Edelbrock has been around for a long time because they have good quality at a good price. Personally unless you have a really nice engine bay with a painted engine I would keep the stock ones and even the stock ones look alright painted.

Hope they don't leak. Seen a lot of eBay Stuff that looks good that leak real bad.

They look pretty legit. I would doubt they leak but you can always check it with a nice strait edge for low spots before putting them on if you get em.

Beware. One problem with those valve covers is that if you have A/C, you won't be able to fit the coil packs on there back where the A/C comes out because of the tall valve cover. If you have no A/C, or putting them on a truck then its no problem. Also, those cheap bolts they supply are worthless. Throw them away and go to the hardware store and get real bolts and make DAMN sure you don't bottom out the bolt in the head. been there done that..
