Corvette Central and Eckler's both carry aluminum covers that have crossed flags and the name Corvette engraved in them. Corvette Central is less expensive...$189 vs. $199. They're about the only set I've seen that the left cover has the two holes in it unless you drill it out yourself.
Lifetime MemberI have Chevolet crome valve covers on mine. They only have one hole so I drilled a 5/8 hole in the center of the rubber oil fill plug to put the pvc valve in.
