ive been looking around for them too. Not a whole lot of places have them....especially the ones with multiple holes in them for your oil filler cap and PCV valve(breather). I dont have any pics....but try summitracing.com or jegs. They had some...dont know if youll like them or not. Hope this helps.

I still need to put mine on but this is what they look like.
CENTERBOLT TALL VALVE COVERS BALL MILLED BALL MILLED polished ALUMINUM.
You can get them with 1/1, 1/2, 2/2 (# of holes on each cover) and they run $120.

Im ordering these in the spring:
I believe they are in the *brand* new summit catalog.. proform offers them in chrome also.. there are nice center bolt covers, it just takes a lot of research to find them!

is that the black crinkle?
they aren't bad, personally i like the smooth appearance ones, although if you have stock heads you would need a adapter.
do a search as i asked this question a little while back.

Barnett Performance here in Atlanta has a good selection of centerbolt covers...polished, ball milled, flamed, short or tall, with differing holes to make them fit just about anything.

I think the reason why the gaskets won't fit as well as the breather is because they are covers for your stock valve covers. I could be wrong but there is a company that makes those and i'm pretty sure it's spectra

Z28*****- Did you have any problems with your valve covers hitting your alternator? I am looking for some aftermarket covers for my LT1. Do they come without the Chevrolet written on them? ROXIE-I could'nt find them in the Summit catalog. I

'One-of-a-kind' cast/polishied aluminium. No name brand but, I think JCwhitney has picked them up. I got mine from JEGs, they were no longer sold the next month...

CENTERBOLT TALL VALVE COVERS BALL MILLED BALL MILLED polished ALUMINUM.
I have the same ones, mine on ebay for $53, polished alum,nice covers with bolts and baffles, they only have 2 holes so I have to fill oil by pulling pvc, but no big deal. No clearance problems once I trimmed the alt. bolt by about 1/4". Nice Covers, great price espically when I have seen the same ones for over $130 elsewhere.
