I've been looking into getting a set of valve covers for awhile...and I haven't seen exaclty what I'm looking for yet. I've done several searches and alot of people run chrome or polished valve covers...which isn't what I'm looking for. I'm looking for a set of brushed aluminum or something similar to these:

I haven't found a set that are center bolt style. Can anyone point me somewhere to find a set other than jegs or summit?

I would ask some guys on the TPI board..but...there are to many a**holes there...and this is an appearance question.

 

why dont you buy a set of the ones you like in the normal bolt pattern, and then use the centerbolt conversion bracket.

 

Like this?

From summit?

 

take a wire wheel on a grinder to your stock covers, it will look sweet, not too shiny, not too dull.

I like the GMPP cast aluminum covers...

 

I really like the look and the sytle of those...do they come in different finishes?

RebelRacer, that would be possible...but I'm wanting a more smooth..beefy look...and the stock covers have indentations on them...plus..I'm not even sure if the stock covers are aluminum...if they aren't..they will rust...

 

so hit them with some clear coat!

 

Those in flat or semigloss black (w/ the machined chevy text) would look awesome.

 

Here's mine. The pic is kind of washed out, but they are a brushed/polished kind of finish. These could also use a bit of a cleaning probably, I got em on ebay

 

I'm really looking for more of a "bare" type of aluminum....not buffed or anything...just bare..but i like the style of those

 

to make polished alum covers look cast again, just have them sand/bead blasted...

 

You can have these...Moroso, $349 from summit

 

Or these from GM performance parts, $229.95 from summit.

 

How bout these?

The pic is incorrect. But the price seems damn nice and it's smooth.

 

...Or these for you Poncho guys reading the thread. $259 from Summit racing. The last two obvioslu needs adapters, the chevy cast version comes in standard, and tall with breather holes.

 

These are also cool, $241 from Jegs.

 

Sexiest valve covers EVER!!

 

Agreed. The transition in colors from red to silver is very nice IMHO.

 

Are those refinished stockers? Not bad looking...
