I just bought a pair of valve covers that look exactly like those, but mine are not polished. I am having mine machined to fit breathers on both covers so that I can eliminate my pcv system. The same gaskets and bolt set came with mine, so I am pretty sure they are made by the same company. I havent installed mine yet but they seem like they are actually decent quality even with the cheap price tag.

I have seen these in person. They actually look very nice. I was surprised with the price. Would like to try a set also. It looks like my plug wires would not work.

the company that makes those contacted us back before SEMA, they are "ok" for the money but will not work on corvettes with the alternator in the stock location and will not work on f-bodies with a/c.

We mocked them up to a friends engine today that was on a stand, and they work well with the truck plug wires. We did discover that they will probably not work unless you are running aftermarket fuel rails that move the stock fuel line to rail conection. IMO its still worth the little bit of extra work getting them to fit. Im sure the Nasty Performance covers are better quality, but they also cost quite a bit more.

Stay away from the ebay ones.
The pedestals that the bolts go through are not all centered. I had a horrible oil leak on the back out of the drivers side one.
Also, like was posted earlier, when you install the coil brackets and coils they hit the AC on the F-body cars, also I had to bend my fuel rail line to make it work.
I just went back to stock...
