haha I was actually thinking about doing that. I bought the FelPro reusable rubber gaskets for them. Turns out my old bolts were not long enough for the new valve covers and the new gaskets. Had to drive out to Discount Auto for some longer ones. Got 4 black ones and had to get the rest in gold cause they ran out!
I've had that problem with Discount before.They seem to stock the minimal parts they can.The one off old Jacksonville is horrible,when they moved they stopped carrying half their stuff to fit inside the smaller building.

The Palomino isn't an exact color match but it doesnt stand out to bad and looks quite good in the end. I've read you found the exact mix in SEM for our interiors let me know how good that looks and i'll probably redo mine!

Yea they sell them for $170+ in the catalogs. The store here in town has a bent and dent area with stuff marked down. Showed it down to 80 and I ended up paying just $60 for it. They circled the dent and it is nothing to an untrained eye 
. I'll have some pictures up soon.
