i paid $65 for some tall, ball milled, polished aluminum centerbolt valve covers, and i recieved em 2 days later, shipping is $10, i was very satisfied, they even came with chrome bolts, only complaint is the bolts dont have gaskets like stock, i have not installed em yet, but i would imagine some RTV will keep them from leaking, they might not even leak without the RTV, i dunno, but i HIGHLY recomend these for the $65

I have a barely used set of Edelbrock Elite series Tall valve covers that are perimeter bolt style. A couple minutes with a polisher would have them looking brand new.

$60 + shipping.

Style #4249

Let me know. tj@midwaydisplays.com

Glad you found what you needed..

Oh.. It's considered poor form to type in all capital letters.

Not being a ****.. just offering a tip.

Tony89GTA,
I forget exactly what I paid but I will look it up for you and PM you. I painted them myself. If you are curious I can send you some pics. No big deal really, sprayed the red and used a gold paint pen for the gold.
