Retro style Valve cover for center bolt heads

Anyone seen these yet ? Click the link for more options and finish choices. I am going more modern with my build, but I have always liked the look of the finned valve covers. I just may have to get a set of the polished ones down the road. They might look real nice on my Vortec heads.

Anybody running these? Pics?

As a matter of fact I have a set of the script finned in powdercaoted black on the Bel Air. They are top quality and great people to work with . They aren't cheap, but I think they are worth it. I will take pics tomorrow.

Re: Retro style Valve cover for center bolt heads

$215 as cast and $315 powder coated, hum, I think I'll take the extra $100 and buy a powder coating kit, then I can powder coat some other stuff. Those will look killer on my Vortec 383 I am building. Too bad I can't get the Camaro script or something like that, maybe the Vette? Anyways sweet looking covers and way better than the polish alum, and the stock tin ones!!

Re: Retro style Valve cover for center bolt heads

Another option if you want those valve covers but do not want to spend the $$$.. You can run a set of these

http://www.jegs.com/p/JEGS/757463/10002/-1

with a set of the original valve covers which seem to be everywhere at local swap meets...
