Default Stainless engine kit

I have seen stainless steel engine dress up kits in catalogs but haven't seen any on this forum that I recall. I am to the point of engine dress up and want some ideas. Thanks PICS PLEASE.

No pics here but be careful with some of the SS bolts and fasteners you can buy.They can strip out easily wether its the hex head bolts or threads.SS is usually a softer metal so use care when buying any.
Other than that,they can shine up an engine bay nicely.

Same as what Ecklers sells, but cheaper.

Select stores on the ebay home page, then do a search by store name for Kirban. I just did it to be sure and Kirban Customs came up and that is the one. The valve covers are polished stainless steel, and not a true valve cover, but an overlay held on with velcro tape. If you want the SS oil cap cover I have an extra for $5 plus the shipping.
