i like the crinkle finish personally,and i like the ones RU-QWIK has.im going to do a crinkle black/red accent combo on my motor.cant wait.
the nicer aluminum ones are from gm and they aren't cheap....
nice pics guys. any more?
what do you like better? black....polished....aluminum...chrome...colored.
we did a car at the shop that the guy wanted purple anodized, i know it's purple....but the anodizing of the color looks sweet!

I'm thinking about painting them red, but I think I'm going to leave them as-is until they get dirty.

Jim those would look even sweeter if you polished them to match your TPI setup.

You can get them from any GM Performance Parts dealer; they're the Pontiac version of the 18 degree valve cover. They'll fit on any small block perimeter bolt style head...not on centerbolts (unless you use adapters). I think they're about $225/set, and will clear any valvetrain setup.

Dont worry, I'm getting rid of them.....
Ok, what do y'all think I should get, M/T aluminum finned, or Holley aluminum finned?

I know you're all about the bling-bling, Jeff
...but I personally like the LT1 Vette V/C's that are black.
I guess it all depends on the intake and the rest of the surroundings that would enhance whatever you're going with.

Here would be a good option for the centerbolt crowd. I took these off of a 1988 Corvette and am in the middle of polishing them.
