yep they are the ebay valve covers, I got them from rodpartsdealer or something like that. The clearance is about half an inch, I thought they were hitting the poly locks at first, but then I noticed they hadnt machined one of the holes for the bolts all the way which was causing the valve covers to not seat. I grinded it down on both and they fit great.

no, the plastic old one looked gay, I even sanded it down and painted it to match the black paint on the car, but it still looked gay, so I changed it. Here is a comparison photo



I got the oil cap off ebay too. Its a really nice piece, its machined out of an aluminum billet. and it actually has set screwed in the top, looks really nice.

You'd have to have a 3rd Gen with the same 2.8L for it to be compatible anyways.
