Default SB Chrome dress up kit recommendation

Was thinking of replacing my valve covers on my stock 1975 L-48. I've seen some of the kits on various sites, ebay, etc...does anyone recommend a particular kit?

Initially was just looking at valve covers but would need the bolts, gaskets, etc..so looks like kits make more sense.

L82 would be good also although already have a chrome air cleaner and the stock distributor and wire covers.

Just choose what you like, I might think it looks like crap, but what do I know.

Yeah....look at lots of Valve Covers.........LOTS of them........
I am partial to the LT-1/L-82 covers and put them on my 406......they just LOOK like they should be on there.
E-bay is flooded with kits and covers......
I put Moroso Covers, Beathers and Air Cleaner on my C20 454 a while back......they look the part

Thanks guys, the L82s do look good but a little pricy. I think I am just going to redo my air cleaner, breather and oil fill cap with chrome for now (separate thread) and of course keep all the stock stuff.
