Default Billet Valve Covers ... Again

Seems like there are four choices:
Eagle Day
HPP
Tarett Engineering
Imagine Auto

Also seems like Eagle Day are really nice but pricey, and HPP are generally the RL choice. Has anyone tried the Tarett covers? Price and look seem good.

Thanks for any responses to a topic that has been beat soundly over the years.

I have HPP uppers and lowers and I must say I have been very impressed and very dry. They look nice too!

Is Eagle Day even a manufacturer or just some internet reseller?

I just put IA covers on the car last night. Fit & finish are great.

I have Hargett parts and they worked great. I think there is some connection or shared resources between Tarrett and Hargett anyway so the covers may be the same, although I have never compared them side by side. Just a hunch - others here may know more.

I'd love to know who makes what for whom. Seems to be some behind-the-scenes machining going on...

I thought IA was gone ...as in no longer in business. From what I understood, they got theirs from Hargett and had their logos machined in (don't quote me, but I believe that was what I had read ...someone can attest to the veracity of that).

Anything has to be better than putting cat litter in your garage floor.
