I did not purchase that set, but did buy a set from DJ Motorsports. I looked on their web site for a link, but didn't see it there anymore. Not sure if they still sell them, but you might give them a call or e-mail and check availability. I like the set from them.

I went to their website but I don't think they carry them anymore.

Hi Todd,

We sell those covers as well.

When asked, we tell customers that there are two types of covers.

Cover Overlays
and
Semi Permanent.

The Covers in your picture are Over-lays. They go on over your existing
covers and attach with Velcro. The Cover overlays have a looser fit than
the units we classify as semi-permanent.

The Semi permanent covers press on over your existing caps and
are generally hard to remove once you press them in place.

Check out our full line of Corvette Engine Caps in the link below.

We make our own, including Black Chrome
and
Feature most other manufactures as well

Peace
Chip

I also thought the quality of the different caps was based on how well the inside grips or rings were engineered. Someone had posted pics comparing the inside of the caps in an earlier thread.
