Aluminum Valve Covers???

Yeah, they are super nice!
But $1700 is a little steep for my street sleeper.
Not to mention the lead time on a hand fabbed part(s) like that.
I was thinking mote like die cast "oem" style covers.

Not to mention they probably want a substantial prepay amount and then ghost.

They're legit but I wouldn't pay $1,750 for a set of valve covers

I don't call having a "website", more like classified listing with 5 products on it legit, but anyone's free to put their money up to find out if they'll deliver orders. There's plenty in the space with many more years of biz that routinely screw over enthusiasts.

I'm very familiar with them and I know guys that do business with them all the time. I wouldn't vouch for them unless I was confident that they're legit.

I did buy the flywheel hold down tool from them through FB Marketplace.
Shipped it to me with a quickness. No issues.

But yeah, I'm not gonna spend that kinda money on valve covers. Unless maybe I had some big ol' cams that needed some crazy clearance
