Holy S***
I got my Valve covers
from Extremethings for my K8
And they are Beautiful. I have
yet to find an outfit in the area
to put them on.
No customization shops in the area.
Classic Red. Whaddya think?

I see you are pretty newb, but they are not hard to do yourself if you read the shop manual and have an inch pounds torque wrench. I see that you have new gaskets for the valve covers. You will also need a new intake manifold gasket since you need to remove it to get the rear valve cover on. If you just want the valve covers put on any decent shop should be able to do it. Ask your parents, friends and friends parents who they trust with their cars if you need a recommendation.
They looks great BTW, he does awesome work.
