Valve Covers

I was wondering if anyone knew where i would be able to get a set of valve covers that say "Trans Am" or "pontiac" at least. I really need a new set and i would love to have some like these if anyone makes them.

I got mine from flaming engraving (flaming engraving's web site). They have some pontiac designs or can make whatever you want. Good folks to do business with.

A guy I know custom made his own valve covers. He has a Pontiac Grand Prix GTX (GTP upgrade) and he took some stock valve covers, covered the top with bondo, then cut out a GTX emblem and pressed it into the bondo to make an indention, then powdercoated the whole thing black and red. They look sweet as hell. I might have him make me a set of Trans Am covers.

I know that this is going to sound like a stupid question, but how hard is it to remove and install valve covers on a third gen. More specifically, a 92 camaro.

4 screws and they lift off..

hardest part is that there are hoses over the top of them and you have to wiggle the cover out.

As Schultzy89GTA said earlier Flaming Engraving can do custom designs / engravings with whatever you wish.

I got mine from flaming engraving (flaming engraving's web site). They have some pontiac designs or can make whatever you want. Good folks to do business with.
Here's a link to Schultzy's original post for more info on them:-

Before you take off the drivers side, undo the positive on your battery terminal. Fun things happen if you don't
