Windsor 4.6L valve covers

I just scored a cheap set of Windsor (99) PI heads, and I'll need valve covers to fit them. Does anyone make a set that look better than the stock covers?

Moroso makes the best looking ones but they are high. Trick flow and bbk also have some

I may just paint a set of stock covers or something. I can't see paying more for valve covers than I paid for my heads, intake, cams, and brakes all together.

Stay away from the Trick Flows, unless you like preserving your block in oil . How about sending them off to get hydro-dipped? I've seen some done that way in carbon fiber that look great.

I hadn't thought about having them hydro dipped, but that's an interesting idea.

They can do about any pattern or design you can think of. Here's some 2V Windsor covers in carbon fiber

Skull pattern....
