Valve Covers
i know their has been a thread on this before but i would like to see if anyone has anything new. im gettting ready for a engine build, and i have had my valve covers powder coated for about 2 years now and they have some piting, so while the engine is all apart i will be changing them out with something, not sure just yet what im going to use. i dont wont anything that is going to stick out like a sore thumb.
lets see them.

These guys have similar covers to the old-school style above (great look, BTW!):

Thanks guys, I really appreciate your comments. floridamale, I almost went with those covers myself, they are really good looking.
Bornin87, if you are looking for centerbolt covers you will find the selection very small.

I also looked at the ones you have but when I found mine @ under half of retail price I couldn't say no. I was a little worried about having to mill holes for the PVC & breather but turned out to not be a big deal.

They are set up with baffles that allow for milling holes in the top side of cover so you use the PVC as a oil fill its no big deal and it keeps the covers looking great. Just needed to drill a 1 inch hole. You cab see the breather in pic 1 & PVC in pic 3
