You can buy the kits on ebay for the blue hoses. Those ones came on my donor Iroc.

I thought it was $500 on me and you offered $600.

Easyspeed, I'm not sure about this, but I think those vette covers are magnesium, and can't be polished.

I thought I read that on this board somewhere, but I hope I'm wrong.

don't shoot the messenger, like I said, I hope I'm wrong.

You were told wrong. Most rims aren't magnesium. Those valve covers can be polished, but expect to spend a LOT of hours getting them to look good, and spending even more time keeping them that way. But, they look great when they're polished.

Those are some of my favorite valve covers, although I actually like them better painted. I've seen some decals on Ebay that replace the corvette logo with a bowtie too. Very nice, and helps you avoid an identity chrisis.
