custom valve covers

I am thinking about changing the look of my engine bay, clean it up alittle. I would like to see what options there are out there as far as valve covers. I would really like to see the two piece valve covers where they hide the coils. So let me see your, and I want to know where you got them and how much it is going to cost me. Thanks in advance.

Are the coil packs IN those covers??? I love the look of a "traditional" engine but don't feel like moving the coils.

Lets just say, if you are worried about the price, don't look.

For me, it just screamed "obvious business expense"

I like CF valve covers google them they look nice and you can leave or move the coils and it looks great eiter way. I am usually not big on CF either.
