I bought a chrome set from summit for $25.95 that fit and didn't hit the alternator or anything. Only problem was I needed a 1" intake spacer. But the good news is that you can get the covers and the spacer for under $100 (which is still better than what you would pay for many valve covers.) The inake with the spacer also fits under the stock strut tower brace and stock hood. Plus you get a nice little boost in HP and TQ with the spacer.

RE: 95 mustang gt chrome or aluminum valve covers?
I just noticed that you left the rubber gromemts out of the list. You'll need two for the valve covers. I can't rememebr teh exact size off the top of my head but they should be able to help. I think they have an outside diameter of 1.25 and an inside diameter of 1.22 but don't quote me on that. It's best to double check.
When I ordered the valve covers, I completely forgot to get those myself. I called back and the lady said that they couldn't include it because my package already went out. That would mean that I would ahve to pay the $3 each for the gromemts plus the $10 again for the flat shipping charge. But then she completely shocked me. She basically said screw it and sent them to me for free.
I don't mean that she didn't charge for shipping... I mean she didn't even charge me for the gromemts! I got them 100% free. Then again, I do a lot of business with them so that probabyl helps, lol. But wither way, they're a nice company to do business with.
And worst case scenario, you can go to any auto parts store and pick them up for cheap.

Like my headers I bought. I got a pair of shortys for $99 from summit. Sure, they're not the best but they flow a hell of a lot better than stock and are larger. It was a great addition.
