      The only other guy I know doing custom valve covers is www.uniquealuminumproducts.com , and I do NOT recommend him. He doesn't even know what alloy of aluminum he's using.

      Are you in a hurry? I might be able to squeeze a set in at night. Go ahead and email me and, depending on what you want done, I'll see what I can do for ya.

      Nice attitude. I wasn't aware that you did one-offs. Have at it.

      I'd like to see a picture of that. The last time I looked into having a set of valve covers machined from a billet of aluminum, it was quite expensive.

      and by the way,my products are second to none.
      Well good on ya.

      They're about as nice as the ones that Matt did for me. I didn't want the washers on top so Matt got creative with support underneath.

      The APS valve covers look like very nice pieces, but when I think of a billet piece, I think of this Wegner Motorsports

      The price is listed as each. I have been to the shop and they are CNC machined.

      I edited my reply, JP had beat ya to the draw, he let me know that they are CNC'd from blocks. I am impressed! Those Valve covers ar very NICE!


      But then again all the valve covers on this page are impressive. They all serve their purpose. Plus they all look killer? It's nice that people have so much to chose from. Looks like, if ya want it, somebody makes it?

      I am shopping for nice valve covers for the project car.. I just can't figure out what the best way to deal with the coil packs would be.

      Steve,


      We have coil pack relocation brackets that removes and relocates the coils from the valve covers if room on the vehicle permits.As in the posted thumbnails,these are custom brackets and moves the coils out on the top of the covers and also packs them tight together for a uncluthered look.
      Also available is two types of billet coil brackets.PM me and we can discuss your particular application/needs.
