Default Who's valve covers would you buy?

I was planning on buying KE style 2 piece valve covers but they are not available right now because of retooling at the factory.
What brand would you buy?

If you want the covers like what's listed above Teague will machine the vents and fill plugs wherever you need so you can just bolt them on and go FWIW

Doesn't matter what brand you buy they all come from China. The mark-up on them is ridiculous. I have a set in nice shape with K&n breathers powder coated black if your interested. I'm moving to a solid valve cover.

id wait on the two piece...but someone has to have some for sale somewhere... its such an easy deal to check your valve train with them, and if youre running solid lifters its an absolute must have... just my .02...

good things are worth waiting for or so they say...
