An option would be to get a nice (undented) set of OE ones then paint em your choice of color (& there is always chrome ones). EDIT I too like the offy "rounded" ones & there is some DC new chrome ones on FABO right now for 2 bills.

I like these. They look simple but have a nice thick flange so they seal tight without any leaks.

I added coil pack brackets. Here is what the covers look like with just a breather.

Don't feel like you have to use them straight out of the box. I've been customizing aftermarket aluminum valve covers for years and each is its own creation. Just a few to get the imagination going ...

I like these I bought from Mancini. They seal up great when using aluminum heads as it now has two very flat straight surfaces to seal against. And I hate oil leaks. Using these I never have any oil leaks after adjusting my valves once a year. Ron

Thank you @moparx! George's idea was pretty cool I thought -- a real diehard, he only wanted it on the passenger side's Pentastar. If you need any help putting your idea together just give me a call! I try not to exactly duplicate my prior work so everyone has a truly "custom" set.
