i totally get what your saying Bob. its not that i was looking for cheap valve covers, its just that the styles of the centrebolt ones i dont like too much.... maybe im not looking hard enough. the valve covers i really like ive only seen in the side bolt version

im still going to be spending $100 on them, i just didnt want to spend an EXTRA $120.

basically ive seen these lovely shiny ones which are plain chrome with just the red chevy logo in the middle (no writing etc), but i havent found any like that in the centre bolt (plus you get two bludy great big holes in the middle of the shiny chrome top)

am i just really anal about what the specific look of my valve covers?
