Default Nice Valve covers

I'm installing Trickflow heads and rockers on my 5.0 and wanted to top them off with a nice looking valve cover. I want to make sure I won't have any clearance issues with the valve covers and the upper intake manifold (93 cobra intake). I also would like one that I could install a extra PCV valve in the drivers side valve cover. Anyone have any suggestions on a resonably priced cover that will fullfill my needs? Thanks!

any regular tall covers should clear the intake, if it is a GT40.
i got Ford racing covers on mine and they are two inches taller than stock

Why not go with trick flow covers, unless you hate black.

I'm open to all options. Will I need covers that are taller then stock to clear the rockers?

The trick flow covers look cool and they are tall enough! I would look into them as trick flow heads and covers kinda go together. I passed on them myself because I picked a different intake. I went Holly Systemax.

I was liking these ones but I'm afraid they may not clear the rockers. Do you think they will?
