Polished Aluminum Moroso ones. 139.99
Fel-Pro gaskets about 10 bucks.

 

PAW has a nice chrome set for $19.95. Then you can get a chrome oil filler cap at autozone for about $5. I just use the Engine Seal brand cork gaskets and alot of black RTV sealant. Never had an oil leak from the valve covers

I'd skip the chrome which inevitably leaks because sealer won't stick to it, just get him to put in the rubber Fel Pro ones VS12869R make sure you get the R version did I say R enough. There's nothing wrong with stock valve covers until you have so much valve train under there that they no longer fit. They're a waste of money.
