pics of GM Perf. aluminum valve covers

I just did a cam/head/header/etc. swap on my '93 Z. I decided to try the new GM Perf. (Proform) aluminum center bolt valve covers.
I had to clearance the alternator slightly, but they do fit, and they work with my Pro Magnum 1.6 roller rockers without any modifications to the inside.
Pictures are on my web page. Under "Engine Pictures"

I'm interested in those valve covers. Where did you get them from?

Local Chevrolet Dealership. They cost me $170 for the pair. Mine are chromed aluminum. How much clearancing?? I did my alternator with a hand file in a few minutes. It's not that bad...But...Keep in mind that mine is a '93. I think my alt. is smaller than '94-'97

Sorry to all those that tried the links...Yahoo is acting up again. The best view is on my web site.

Do you have the part number. I just blew a head gsket and figure minus well put in some 1.6 rr and dress up valve covers while I'm at it.
