+1, need to see pics of your engine bay. My initial response is leave them polished. BUT Danny (GreenGoblin) has his painted green and they look great in his bay. Really depends on how you've used that blue else where in your engine bay.

I think it would look better with everything polished. If you get your valve covers painted that blue color it may work.

Timing cover looks great by the way.

Bwahahaha.

You should install both (without using RTV) and take pics and see which one you like better. I had a friend that had his powdercoated his accent color, put them on and didn't like the way it looked (they stood out too much amongst the engine bling) so he kept his polished ones on. Gotta see it all together before you can really tell if you'll like it or not.

Deleting the hose that goes across the front of the timing cover will be a clean look and show off the polished timing cover even better.
