Black Valve Covers: Yes or NO?

[BullittStangV8]

I'm looking at these black FMS valvecovers for my build up. The engine bay is flat black. I think they look pretty nice, I'm just worried about "loosing" them in the engine bay when you look at it. What you think? Yes? No?

I think they are pretty tuff lookin'. I dig'em. If you end up getting them you have to post pictures of what they look like on. I'm thinking about black covers for myself.

Paint the letters yourself, i did mine orange over chrome on the FMS covers


And yes to the black w/red

 

[jb1dsl]

even the pic on summit shows the polished with red lettering?!

 

[jb1dsl]

I think the black ones look very tough!

+1 to the black valve covers, but perhaps paint the red letters/stripe to match your car' exterior color? Or perhaps the engine color? Just throwin' out some ideas...

+1 more for the black valve covers, and i agree with color matching the lettering.

The engine is black, with aluminum heads/intake. The headers are ceramic coated as well. The outside is Tropical Tourquoise.

I love the black w/red lettering valve covers. I wish I got those for my 5.0 but instead I got the black TFS ones. The only other valve covers I would consider is the aluminium fabricated look in a classic.

that would look bad ass dude. i know ive seen those black valve covers with silver letters and if you could find those, that would look even better.

I have them on mine and have been running them on-road for 1500mi and they wipe down just like new everytime.

Ok im sold. Black it is! Seeing them on a motor makes the decision easy. Thanks guys.

Good decision man, that's gonna be one mean looking engine.

Hey 347, what is that second sender in your manifold for?

I wish I had gone black, my polished aluminum ones are only 2 years old and already starting to look like crap, especially after I pull the car out from hibernation in the spring.
