    Has anyone bought 455 valve covers from this
    web site: uniquealuminumproducts.com?
    They look pretty sweet to me.
    Let me know what you think of them.

    Thanks,
    Tom:TU:

    I've been considering them for a while, and I think they will match my Dual Quad Intake very nicely!:bglasses:

    While they are a little "pricey" ($300?:puzzled: ), they really ARE "unique"! I like them because they are PLAIN and Smooth (no Manufacturer name or Brand name)!:TU:

    Could you show some pix of them for us here. I am always looking for something that would make my car a little more unique. Maybe others here are too...........

    We have them on two of our cars they fit nice and look cool. The way they are built they give you a little more room inside the valve covers for rockers. I run T&D individual shafts on my GSE car and they use a little more space and they fit them perfect. Finishline Motorsports is a dealer for them and stock them I believe the price is 270.00 from them but you might want to call Jeff at 1-616-765-5101.

    Bob,

    Any way you could get some pix of them for us here ? If Finishline is a dealer for them this may be a good way to get started in their new contingency program............. Never thought I would consider a contingency deal for 1 race, but you just have to appreciate what FM is doing there.


    later.........................

    Ok so I'm slow I took the pictures then came from the race shop to load them and there they are. So I guess I don't need to try and figure out how to post them (big relief)
    I should tell you around were they are welded need to be polished. It is hard to tell but when you get them there is some discoloration. You can see in the pictures that there is a little discoloration that is from the welding. Just took some light polishing to get it to come off for us. I did check the inventory and we have two set of them on the shelf I knew we had one but we have two.

    Those are SO cool!:bglasses:

    I have a question, just in general: How well do they fit? I mean, as far as, do they Seal good, so they don't have leakage, and are the "long" bolts included with them?:Do No:

    I really do think they look nice (and WILL look nice on MY engine!):TU:

    No runs no leaks no errors. Sorry thats an old paint commercial I think. We have had no issue with leaking at all bolts come with them. They do look cool it's like pro stock
