Looking good!!!!!
Are they painted or powder coated? and what color blue is it? I was thinking about doing the same thing to my SB. I am going to carry the same bule over to some other parts under the hood and do the brakes to match.

Welcome to the fun world of keeping painted valve covers clean.
Don't ask me how I know. http://www.supermotors.net/getfile/623785/thumbnail/powerplant.jpg (http://www.supermotors.net/vehicles/registry/media/623785):cool:

The color-matching lettering is a real nice touch.

thanks guys. there powdercoated fordblue as others said. these will be EASY to keep clean which is my main reason for doing it cuz my stockers were disgusting, and impossible to clean plus BORING.

Very, very nice.
I never cease to be amazed how good these look on our cars.
Valve covers seem to be the heart of engine bay bling.
Good job :beer:

I got those same coil covers right after I got the car. my wife said I couldn't get any aftermarket parts, they came in the mail, she got mad, I showed her the ford part numbers, and she about beat me to death with them...

those look freaking awesome!!! can you post a bit about the process of removing and reinstalling and why you went with powedercoating (vs priming and high temp paint). I saw this same set up with the ford blue when I was at fabulous fords last year in cali and I've been planning to do this after I get a few more pressing matters tended to in the horsepower dept.

How much time did it take to R&R them? Do you run into any issues on the drivers side like "new edge" cobra's with the brake setup? They look great.
