where to get nice valve covers?
i want to get some really nice valve covers that say pontiac or trans am on top
i found a nice set but they dont make them with the big hole for oil cap only the small holes for the pvc valve and the vent hole on the other side.
anyone know of a site that provides the right kind im talking about.
this is for my 86 trans am 305 v8 tpi with the bolts on the sides of the covers.

Re: where to get nice valve covers?
You should be using a funnel when replacing oil anyway - what difference does oil cap size make?
One valve cover gets PCV valve, other gets breather filter. Remove either one to replace oil - that's what everyone with aftermarket covers does because like you say, they don't have the big ugly oil cap on them.
