valve covers

looking for a nice set of valve covers for my 3rd gen camaro. 5.7 center bolt. i'v seen numerous awesome looking ones for perimeter bolt motors but i cant really find a good selection of good looking valve covers for center bolts. i'v seen the flat black with red indented chevrolet in them. those are nice but i'v had those before but that's about the only ones i'v really seen that look decent. i'm not into the chrome or polished look. its to shiny and plain. anybody got pics of some nice valve covers that they've seen?

The cast aluminum Corvette ones are really nice.

Re: valve covers

I'm running the early C4 Vette magnesium covers. I like to stick with OEM covers because they have proper baffling for the PCV valve and breather.

The only issue with these is that the textured paint tends to discolor with age.

Re: valve covers

I think if you have some sort of color scheme like this black and red setup . Looks nice. Maybe this one went a little overboard with bow tie but you get the idea.I contemplated doing mine but you can't even see the passenger side cover with all the smog crap. I just went all black with covers intake and engine and trying to mix in a little red with wires, cap and red filter to match the car and bay.
