Default Opinions on Abear coil covers

I'm looking into getting some of these coil covers. I think they would complement the Vic Jr. intake manifold very well. What do you guys think? I want to get the standard machine finish, but I was thinking about having something engraved on them as well. Debating between something simple like Chevrolet with the bowtie next to it, or something like Chevy Thunder (very fitting, eh? ), bowtie, and incorporating the 6.7 and turbocharged in there somewhere. I don't want it to be too "busy", but I don't want it to look too plain either.

I don't want the entire cover colored, so anodized is out of the question. I would like to paint the engravings though. What do you guys think would look good without being too "busy"?

Would something like this look cool, or just retarded?

I'm kinda worried that plain will look too plain, but I dunno.

My .02 I like them, great way to clean up the engine bay, I like the way spoolin has spoolin on his, i think you user name would be cool, but plain would be a little blah.

EDIT: how about Turbo Revolution!

Spoolin actually has something to do with the truck being turbocharged. I think it would be pretty gay for me to get "thunder550" put on mine, lol. Maybe I should have spoolin put on mine too

On the passenger side would it be to tall, how close would it be to your turbo?

I'm not sure. The pics I have are from bad angles and don't show much. I'll have to look at Kyle's truck and see how much clearance there is between the turbo and valve cover.

The more I think about it the more I think I want just the bowtie with Chevrolet next to it. I'll paint the bowtie engraving red, and paint the Chevrolet black.
