valve covers...
who is a good source for aftermarket "fancy" valve covers ?
I'm thinking of relocating the coil packs and permanently removing the plastic fuel rail covers.

That looks nice and clean. Where are the coil packs, and how difficult /expensive is it to relocate them??

Wow... those are great... how much and where can I get them?
I may get a 2nd set of stock ones and cut off the coil pack mounting studs, weld shut/clean then paint like I've done.

The ones you found do look awesome. Would be worth getting rid of the FRCs for those.

Holy crap, Tim. You buying when you can diy?
I just spent a few hours polishing mine one day when I had chores to do and needed an excuse not to. Course, mine don't show cause I still have the coils and frc's covering them. But, hey - I know they're there!
