You can get chrome valve covers from Edelbrock, or plain no name ones from just about anyplace (PAW, JC Whitney, etc). Redraif's are stock valve covers from any 85-88 Fiero 2.8; they're cast aluminum ribbed covers that look pretty nice when polished. I'm pretty sure chrome oil pans are available as well, though they are the deeper S10 style (which fit, but the sump is too low for a lowered car).
Most of the accessories on these engines are aluminum, and can be polished...thats what we did. These aren't the lates pics, but you get the idea:

I believe somewhere does make a dressup kit. That or the person did it themselves. I'll show you a picture I got from G10, never did get to talk to him though. Need to get them developed first.
