anyone have suggestions for companies that make coil covers?
I am trying to hide these, and don't want to relocate.

I have only seen on set of valve covers that hid the coil that were kinda cool, but they cost like 1200 bucks from Billet Specialties.
We sell a coil bracket to mount the coils on to that will let you mount the coils where ever you want. You will need an extension harness and and some custom plug wires but to me that makes a much nicer install. And opens the doors to put ay valve cover you want on the engine.
Most of the coil covers seem kinda cheesy.

That is a harder question then the coil covers. Atleast there are not any great coil covers. But the list of valve covers is end less.

I agree...not too many companies out there who make one that's popular or really attractive. But, the ones on the truck look pretty good though.

Those are just billet specialties cover that give the truck a vintage finned valve cover look.
I really want to make some cast Magnesium valve covers that look modern for Pro-touring kinda cars.

In case you didn't guess, it's going in a Jag. Pretty clean look.

I'm very limited in space. Going the valve cover route may be the only choice...Any more suggestions for valve covers?

We only have 3/8" gap between the coils and the booster :hitaxeonthehead:
