My valve cover gasket has a small leak and in true gear head fashion I'm sticking to the old "while I'm in there I might as well upgrade"

So what do I want?

I REALLY want some like Foxfans that have that badass fabbed look, but I can only find some for upwards of 300. I was looking to spend under 150.


Some older pics for reference:

I like the ones you picked grey5.0 but i would go with the ones that are black with the aluminum/chrome looking finish on the fins, it would go great with the black explorer upper.

Polish the stockers. They are actually really nice looking when cleaned up. You can get them shining like the inside of a coke can if you really want to. I got mine to a dull shine and clear-coated them.
