I don't see any dents. The center garnish is bent but that's what happens when you remove it. They are cast aluminum too, meaning you can't dent it, just crack it. The truck looks bad ass to me.

I am pretty sure that is how the 26 valvecovers are shaped.

correct sir.

the valve cover dips in a little to help one of the turbo hot pipes to clear. (the one that has the "twin turbo logo on it.)

I'm quite certain that's how they're shaped. Lets say I've done a little with GTR's too. That's why I was wondering how the guy thought they were dented. The center garnish in one of the pics had obviously been pulled off and stuck back but the valve covers are in perfect shape. As I said before, being cast aluminum you can't really dent them, they just crack if you hit it hard enough.
