are you looking for the actual valve covers or the plastic/c/f engine covers?

the only problem is that it is covered with the plastic cover. maybe you can look into fabricating a metal cover and the powdercoat that.

how about powder coating the plastic cover, or maybe another piece that is visible. :D

well the motor actually looks better with the engine cover off, so i'm gonna powdercoat mine, would anyone be interested in a powdercoated valve cover?

the reason for the plastic cover is so that all the wiring is covered. i would be interested if there was add on piece that covered everything up that went along with the valve cover.

yes i know but i still think the motor looks better without the cover

I think it's a great idea, I hate the way car manufactures keep adding plastic covers and shields all over the place, I like too see the motor when I pop the hood and I haven't seen a cover that I didn't want to smack the designer with a claw hammer because of. I'd really like to see a well done valve cover to get some of that useless plastic out of the engine bay. Good luck, lemme know

I know this is a little late, but Conicelli sells them for $26.33 a piece. They might offer a special rate for bulk purchases. Here's the link..
