If you're looking for a set for a '97+ magnum v6, you're out of luck. No one makes them yet. That might soon change though as I've heard a couple sources mention they might start producing chrome valve covers. I hope they do ;-)

Yea I know i have a 1999 and i hate the valve covers they dont even say Magnum on them like the 5.9 does, i would really like a set of Chrome w/ maybe a nice MOPAR across them or something.

BlackDakMagnum - You have a '92 or '93 if I remember correctly. Your head design is different than our '97 and later magnums. Mainly concerning the number of holes for the valve covers.
Lesley - The valve covers you listed a part number for are for v6 engines prior to '97. I have looked high and low for years trying to find aftermarket valve covers for our engines and noboby makes them. Hopefully Speedtweaks or Dakota USA will hurry up and finalize whatever they have going so we can have some.
Your only other option for the time being is to buy a new (or ussed) set of valve covers and have them stripped and chromed (or powdercoated). New valve covers from the dealer will run you anywhere from $60 to $80 depending on locale.

Check at your local dealer and goto the parts dept and order a mopar performance catalog they used to have the black valve covers that say magnum and they had chrome ones too. I don't remember if they were for the old 3.9 but I would think they would fit the new one.
I'm not 100% on this but seems like I remember them for the 3.9 too anyway it's a thought
