What do you guys think of these valve covers?
I am thinking about getting some billet valve covers and based on the pictures what do you guys think of these, like quality and such. I am later going to have them powder coated, these are also taller to accommodate aftermarket valvetrain components.

Ah okay I was just going on what the description said that they used billet aluminum to make them. For now I am not looking to spend crazy amounts of money since I could get the Katech covers if I wanted to spend a lot lol.

Cosmetically, I'm not sure I'm a fan of all the weld beading

Yeah that is what I am unsure about. I would powder coat them though eventually if I got them. Originally Posted by KahanaReef

Personally those look terrible.....powered wouldnt save them. IIRC Proform covers clear rollers.....and they're reqsonable.

They could have spent some time grinding down those welds. But that's just me.
