chrome valve covers?

Does anyone know of any retailers that sell chrome valve covers for the PSD? I thought that might look sharp, just to dress her up bit.

I've never seen any before. What you might have to do is go to the bone yard and buy a set and have them chromed. I never thought of that but a bit of chrome under the hood would look pretty cool. Maybe pulleys too?? What else could we unbolt easily and have chromed??

I have an intercooler, so I guess I could have the air tubes chromed and maybe top it off with a Tymar intake with a polished air pipe.

Found a source for 7.3 chrome valve covers.
They are stock covers that have been chromed.

Spendy.

HeatStroked,

Do you know of someone who sells them already chromed?
Anybody care to hazard a guess at how much it would cost to have a stock pair chromed? I have to change my glow plugs and that would be a good time to slap on something purty!

Didn't check International.
