Polished valve covers?

Anyone know if anyone makes some for a lt1? I would like to get a set for my motor to flow with my fuel rails and intake, but idont seem to find any. And if i could get some that are like the lt1 intakes, wehre they have fins instead of just a smooth cover.

They have to be center bolt but also have the alternator notch in the passenger side cover. The easiest place I have found to get them from is Ebay. They are a lot cheaper and I have seen a few in person from there, they look pretty good.

Hope that helps some.
