I know those damned raised Chevrolet valve covers are EXPENSIVE new. I think I looked at some for like 200+ I believe. I went with some non named, yet really nice polished aluminum covers and I like them....... I think i have some pics some where I'll look and see if I have any.

hell for that amount of $$$, might as well go with fabricated covers. A few companies sell nice aluminum covers for around $100-$150 depending on design and if they are etched with flames, ball-milled, etc etc. Almost any speed shop can get these, you can also check out Summit/Jegs.
