After seeing people "bling out" there engine bays recently i would like to get chrome valve covers.

since this is a cosmetic mod and not a power mod i dont want to spend $450 on BBK or other name brand valve covers.

I saw this and i thought i may get it for my 2001 mustang gt. Does this look good or should i consider another valve cover? i would like it to say powered by ford or ford racing or something like that if the price is resonable. if you can point me to a link i would appreciate it.

The are standard 6-bolt small block Ford VCs in the picture and wont work on a Mod motor.

You could do something similar to what I did and paint your covers to match the car.

I've heard of sealing probs with the bbk vc unless you modify them here on stangnet but i really like the way they look. I'd really like different vc's also.
