Valve covers

I have the 305 tbi in my '92 and I want to change my valve covers to something nice and shiny or at the very least brushed alum. Any suggestions and can you post pics.

i've seen some pretty nice center bolt covers from this place called "mar-k" they deal mostly with custom trucks, but i'm sure the valve covers would fit though. have you checked summit or jegs yet? center bolt valve covers are not as common as the perimeter style valve covers so there isn't as much "custom" stuff out there. happy hunting.

chrome won't get you home, but it might get you laid.

And since valve covers will not inherently effect the running of the car, might as well go for whatever gets ya more tail.

Chrome is also cheapest. Painted comes after, and Aluminum is much more expensive, then you have "fabricated aluminum", which REALLY looks home-made, and cheesy IMHO, but is very expensive. Go figure.

I think summit would have some center bolt chrome ones.
