Default Best steel cover?

After looking at countless FE. I've decided I like my chrome steel valve covers w/no beathers or pcv. My pcv is mounted in the rear of the intake and I have a breather cap on the filler tube in the front of the intake. The system seems to work good. I bought some aluminum Ford Racing covers, but I changed my mind. I like the type I have. The problem is most of the stamped steel covers are poor quilty chrome. Anyone here know where I can get some really nice plain chrome FE valve covers with no holes for caps and PCV?
Thanks,
Tom

Ones like these but nicer chrome:

Bluethunder sells a nice cast aluminum pentroof. I bought a set and they fit and look nice. They come in a as cast finish that is nice as or you can polish them. Barry R sells them and is a BT dealer.

www.survivalmotorsports.com you can see pics there. They sell both closed and vented covers. Mine are closed. Click on the B/T valve cover link...then BT images and you can see a nice closeup of the as cast finish pentroof.

Default Pentroofs

I believe that the ones from Dearborn Classic and the ones from Branda,are both made off shore. And yes the quality is not up to snuff,that's why with the 3 sets I've purchased, I had them rechromed, if you want the look,you have to be prepaired to pay for it.
