I could be wrong, but I don't think there are really any out there!

Yeah, but I thought those ended up not fitting our engines, or something like that.
I just called them and left a msg to find out if they do infact make VC's for our 3.8's. As soon as I get a return call, I'll let you know what they said.

The GM 3800 FI Valve Covers WILL fit our cars. They run about $350 per set.

Hello,
If you read through the whole thread discussed before, you will find that these were made for the L36. They are not guaranteed to fit on the L67. Unless things have changed since then.
There is an email from the company in the last thread.
"quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks for the e-mail. The 3800 valve covers are for the normally aspirated engine. I have yet to try them on a supercharged engine, but I've sent some pictures for you to judge. It may be a clearance issue with the supercharger or fuel rails, but I'm not sure. Cost is $295.00 a set."
Later now,
Clint

When I called this morning I just told him I had a 99 GP with the 3.8L, and he said the ones for the GM FI will fit. I didn't think about asking him if they would fit the S/C 3.8.
