Man that air cleaner looks sweet, where did you get that?
Mine are just Proform "Bowtie" covers...

DeBoTech makes those. It's a nascar filter for 16" aircleaner elements. They are usually painted white on the outside but I liked the bare carbon better, even if it shows the marks from vacuum bagging (the perfect carbon is on the inside)
Not the best picture but Ive got polished Proform covers. They came with bolts but they were kinda cheapish. One snapped, I bought all new ones affter that.

I love them GM Peformance Parts Chevy Competition Valve Covers, however they are not centerbolt covers. What needs to be done to change them over? Centerbolt covers are ugly in my opinion, do you need to swap heads to have ones without centerbolt? TPI setup covers them up anyways though, i dont even know why i would consider.
I have 2 sets, they never leaked. One thing I do is use studs on the perimeter holes, that way you will not distort the pltes when you bolt down the valve covers. Also some permatex sealer works miracles.

I'll have to try the RTV. The studs I'm using on the perimeter don't hold onto the adapters very well, so when tigtening down the nuts, its almost spinning the studs in their holes.
I'm not using RTV, I'm using aircraft form a gasket, it's a thick black/brownish smelly goop that you brush one. It looks like condensated oil and comes in a white bottle witha twist cap with brush.
No problems with clearance? AC and all? I put those on the '68 but since the bay is a little more open, i had no problem. I wanted to put em on the Formula but i didnt think i had enough room.
They're installed on my 83 truck it has plenty of room for them, it doesnt have AC but a home made AC eliminator heater box. I don't know if they would fit with AC on an f body.

any front shoots of your engine with these covers?
Yes, but it's not a camaro. They will go on the camaro shortly though as I have carbon covers for the vette that go with the aircleaner. These are the most recent ones I have
I always dug the polished aluminum look even when it oxidizes... Mine are in dire need of a good polish job at this point... but I still think it looks way better than chrome.
I kinda wish they were the ones that said "CAMARO" across them, though, but whatever.
