For some reason the brake reservoir cover polished up much nicer than the tanks... but since I did it last, think maybe I was just getting better. I plan to redo the tanks along with the fuse cover (which is still untouched). But now the black cam covers seem too dark, so I may just send the stockers off for chrome powder coat finishing.

Yep. But mine are still in the original box in the basement and will never make it to my engine compartment. IMO, they look like Edelbrock billboards

that's true, the covers are nice but everything says edelbrock HUGE. I wonder how they would look all blacked out, make them a little more subtle but still hide the uglies.

Like I said before, they were very well finished, and only took about 30 seconds to fit!

What kind of strut tower covers are those and where did you get them. They look great as does the rest of the engine bay.
