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.

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...
