Default Stock GT Valve covers

Does anyone know where I can order a replacement set of stock GT valve covers, other than from Ford? I'm going to have a local shop match the powder coating to my car, and there's no sense buying pre-coated covers, just to have them stripped. Ive seen them listed for around $269.00 precoated and I hoping I can find an unfinised stock set somewhere for less. I also don't want to let the car sit around, undriveable with the valve covers off, while I wait for the shop to finish. Perhapse someone out there might have a stock set they took off that they'd be willing to sell cheap? PM me if you do. An aftermarket would be fine, if I could find them. I just hate going to Ford for parts. I wanted a set of fuel rails so I could send them out to be chromed. They quoted me $265.00 when I found them on eBay for $35.00 (takeoff).

OK, so I've added a few things to it. Check my Profile - too many to list here.

There is a guy on this site and on MustangSource.com by the name of Hatchman, who has an exchange program. He charges $120 (including shipping), he powder coats them the colro youwant, sends them to you, once you receive them you swap them out for your stock ones then send the stock one to Hatchman (Brad Hatcher is real name). I believe he is the only doing this. Check it out.
