Well they say you get what you pay for, I honestly wouldn't use them. looks like the same kit you can get from checkers/kragen/ schucks..Plus why only the air cleaner lid.. you'll have to have the same size base.

this stuff all looks pretty cheap and hokey to me. the guy before me put one of those cheap chrome air cleaner covers on and now it looks like crap, it's tarnished and looks worse than the old black original one would have. spend the extra bucks and get quality stuff. i saw a full crinkle black set on ebay for 175, had the valve covers with everything to install them, the air cleaner, breather, timing cover, and i think a couple other goodies. it was black with red "corvette" lettering and would look awesome versus the cheap chrome stuff.

I wasn't planing on buying it unless a few people said it was good. I kind of thought it was crap.

Go on Ebay and get Chevrolet parts. Get those cool fineed original valve covers. Then as the years go by they become worth more....

Pretty Garbage.

I think its a pretty good deal for the price. But for the long term I would not get this. It would be a temporary thing for me until I found the valve covers and air cleaners I really wanted, that looked to be of a higher quality. I would wonder about the thickness of the material, and how cheap it really looks in person.
