Default question about my valve covers

Has anyone used these valve cover or this style of valve cover? If so what did you use to add your oil and also for your ccv? Im looking for options and i really dont want it to look like it doesnt belong there. Also these were bolted together to the right angle to bolt the steam lines one and just figured i would put the covers on to see how they looked.

Just drill two 1.25" holes in the stock locations, add a grommet for the PCV and an oil fill cap, and you're good to go.

Are you using a low-mount alternator? You'll need to.

I also relocated my alternator and drilled a hole and used a plastic breather I picked up at autozone. I just pull the breather out to fill oil.

that looks good im just looking for something that matches with the overall look. I think that i am going to go with some AN fitting and run a catch can system. That way i can just eliminate the hose going up to the TB. Larry at speedinc suggested the option to me. I just didnt know if anyone else had used anything different. I was also thinking about getting a flush mount gas cap (aluminum) from a motorcycle that i can tig weld on. has anyone tried something like that?
