Maybe just the 383 part....the fact that it goes over the cap just doesnt do it

Need to see a pic of your car too. Initially, though, I like them.

Those don't look good at all, aftermarket valve covers would be a nice appearance upgrade, just not those.

I would think they'd look better with black instead of blue, but that might just be because I have a black car. I'm surprised so many people don't like them.

Well, alrighty then. these were origionaly my stock covers, I have been using chrome and had the OEMs laying around, I have blue accents under the hood, so I did the valve covers in anodized blue, I ordered a front window decal with my logo on it and threw in a couple of the valve cover decals too just for the hell of it, once I got threw I was on the fence also, hence the poll. Just picture them on the engine they might not be so intence....

If you figure a way around the oil cap, that would improve things drastically. A dull, boring factory cap with white tape or paint stuck on it doesn't flow to well with the rest of the valve cover. If you were able to get one of those aftermarket chrome oil caps and have that anodized blue, then put the stripes on that to blend it in with the decals would probably look better in my opinion.
