These valve covers have a few light scratches but that was due to being used as display items in a store and were handled by who knows how many people. The price was cheaper than buying new ones so this purchase works for me.
I bought these for my '78 CJ5. They really change the appearance of the 304. Don't waste your money on those cheesy chrome tins. Spend a little more and get these. You will not regret it!
