I have Edelbrock Elite aluminum valve covers & air cleaner on my Malibu. I will never use them again. They look terrible once they've been exposed to the weather & road dirt for a season. I've tried cleaning them but so far to no avail. I've used chrome before & never had any problem. They still get dirty & nasty on a driver but they will clean up ok. I've never had a problem with chrome timing chain covers & I've used many of them over the years. They're just damn near impossible to clean once they're on behind the water pump. Chrome dress up kits do make a huge difference in the appearance of an engine compartment though. I also like the black crinkle ones but am afraid they'd be hard to clean also, although I can't remember having any myself. Don
