I decided to go with the later model composite covers on my 92 and picked them up for $190 or so. Lo and behold I needed special bolts which were prob $30? Then lo and behold I needed special studs which screw into the head and the special bolts screw into them another $40 or so. Then you'll need the oil cap another $10.
Long story short I love the way the later composite covers look but is it really worth almost $300 for valve covers?
If I had it to do over I'd get some billet ones there is a company making these and they're beautiful but I can't think of the name.

Thanks for all the responses
Specifically I am looking at Scorpion 1.7rr's I think they are too big to fit under even modified stock covers.
I am just worried about aftermarket valve covers fitting under the alternator bracket.
