Default LS Engine Covers

I wasn't planning to run the LS engine covers when I started my build but as I approach the end, I'm slowly changing my mind. The question I have is what cover(s) will fit my engine. I have 2008 6.0L with LS3 heads and intake. The valve covers are from the 08 truck and I have LS1 coils. Any ideas? Oh and one more factor is the DSE power brake booster that could cause issues.

Why cover it?? I'm running the Billet Specialties valve covers that hide the coils on Gwen's LS3... and had the intake painted so it doesn't look like plastic.

Factory Vette Fuel Rail Covers will fit and look pretty good.

Will factory LS1 F-Body covers work? I have the f-body accessories and the vette cover have the notch in them for the drivers side top alternator mount.

I ask this because someone told me that the only cover that would work is that monster on the new Camaros
