Default Wicked....jaw dropping look.

Billet Custom Valve Covers

"The Most Beautiful Valve Covers Available Period."

Here are our billet valve covers on a custom supercharged C6!
This look is just jaw dropping.

Some of the finest Corvettes in the country are going with our "Patent Pending" Billet Valve Covers.

You be the Judge.

Can you give a quick summary of the basis of the patent? Just want to know if there is any special functionality or if it is the appearance alone.

I like the way you reposition the coil paks to the end of the valve covers. This would allow for some custom engraving in the center area. They really are pretty.

I'm curious as well. After well over 100 years of valve cover development, what's so special about these to deserve a patent??

Patent Pending does protect the idea.

And you can tell what the idea is now that you are protected. Not to be hounding you just curious. Just the look or some internal functionality like baffles? Mounting idea for coils? It is ok to tell.
