They are BRAND spanking new. A little steep on the price though, but I am thinking about it. Maybe if I can get rid of my seats this week. What do you guys think?

That is what I was thinking about (why put Corvette valve covers on a camaro)....I say if you want to scrap those black ones you probably have right now go out and get yourself a nice set of aftermarket centerbolt covers.
I grabbed the Edlebrock ones a couple of years ago and they are nice, but looking back on that purchase I wish I would have spent the cash on something else since they were a good chunk of change. Also, there are some nice chevy ones out there which are in and arround the same price range which are nice, I would say to go with either one of those rather than the Vette ones.

Axle/Gears: Yup -- they still work
They look great on the TPI'd Vettes I've seen that come with them from the factory. They'd look great on your TPI as well --- alot better than those black ones you have now. IMO.
That price is steep. Check out STIFFLER he might still have his for sale. $150 USD will get you a decent home-made cold air & AFPR. You really want to dress it up eh ?

Those 'vette valve covers are known for the nice shade of yellow they turn. They're pretty sweet though. I like these ones that the general just released.....

I just hope there aren't people out there loving Vette covers on a Camaro who still would hate a "Type-R" badge on a Honda not so equipped....I think there's a word for that, luckily I'm too open-minded to pay it any attention...
