billet specialties cross flags, they look very good. picked em up at summit racing last year. The down side is the modification. Had to cut the insides to pieces to fit the hi-tech stainless rockers. The worst part is cutting the alternator so the cover would fit the driver side.

Stay away from the Edelbrock Elite valve covers. The plastic plugs around the valve covers always disappear and the black paint on the valve covers flakes off. I'm not very happy with them but I'll deal with it. So far a black sharpie marker has taken care of the paint issue and what plastic plugs I have left (strictly decoration) I have glued on so we'll see what happens. The look is nice and I don't have any leaks but I wouldn't buy them again.

Where did you get them?They also have them in polished, and chrome, and some others as well. I understand summit is now seeling them.

I bought a set of valve cover covers. They're chrome and they go on with velcro. They pop right on and are easy to get off and they hide the centerbolts. I bought them with chrome fuel rail covers from a forum member. Zip products sells them I think. If you want I'll snap a picture of them for ya.

I've got polished aluminum Morosos. I had to clearance the rear of the alternator but it's no big deal. By the time I got done polishing it, it looks like it came that way. You can kind of see them in a couple of My Corvette Photos.
