Depends if its from a solid block of aluminum=$$$, cast then machined like the BBK's, or possibly something else I can think of like welded aluminum sheets or plates and then machined.

They have a powdercoated "chrome" finish, but I didn't see any true polished ones.

Billet would be nice, but I doubt they could be made for a reasonable price.

You are probably looking at 5-600.00 if not more for a set.

I recommend the Team Breed covers. No leaks like most of the others I know of.

Is that a stand alone milled plate, or did TB mill that into the cover itself?

They mill and engrave the casting. They didn't do the paint detail, though.
