Engine Bay Dress-up

jrys · Mar 16, 2008

Installed a hood lift kit and eliminated the prop rod.
Installed a “Powered By Ford” Plenum Cover.
From Midwest Auto Gear:
Redfire GT Shock Tower Covers
Redfire Radiator Cover (no prop rod clips)
Redfire Radiator Cover Extensions (with prop rod filler plug)
Redfire Mirror Covers (not installed yet, to cold out still for mother in-law tape)
I painted the Air Filter Cover and Fuse Box Cover Redfire. I may paint the coolant tank top.
The only thing I not sure of is if I want to do the fuel rail covers that match the plenum cover.

I went the painted route because I'm not a big fan of the "who puked chrome all over my engine thing", each to their own.

Suprised you didnt paint the plenum cover too. Have seen a few like that and they dont look too bad. Good lookin car though!

Okay, jrys, I just have to tell you...

All day today the quote has been "Who puked chrome all over my engine!?"

It started when we opened up our hoods and compared our GTs. I'm looking to/was looking to install the covers that you have and copy your idea (great idea!). His engine bay was all chrome, and I said... "Who puked chrome all over your engine?" Which prompted a bout of hysterical laughter.

We then went to the dealer to inquire about these covers, and to get some black paint. We walked along the lot and looked inside some open GT hoods... and said...

"Who puked chrome all over these engines?"

THANK YOU FOR BRINGING LAUGHTER INTO MY DAY!

BTW I cannot install these covers if I plan on adding the Roush superchgr- covers won't fit. I guess it's a massively huge supercharger...

You ought to add that quote to your quote section. IMO.

I added the Midwest Auto Gear fuel rail covers. Engine Bay Done.

Looks great. I have done several of the same modifications as you under the hood. I have toyed around with the idea of painting my fuse box cover and air box Vista Blue, but haven't gotten around to it yet. What I like about those mods is that they can easily be removed to bring the GT/CS back to stock form. I ordered the GT appearance package with my car, so I have the original Ford plenum cover. I had another Ford plenum cover airbrushed and put the original in storage. It came out great....here is a photo:

Looks good, what type of lettering is that on the plenum cover?

GTCS07 · May 4, 2008

Thanks, it's chromed plastic OEM type, adhesive backed. I bought it on-line. Had to make the slash though.

I have this on my engine, but I like the GT/CS on your, is there some where you can get this to add on. I, myself love the chrome look. I plan on putting more on mine like jrys's. I like what QuarterHorse did, makes it look like belongs there.

Thanks, that was the intent. The only thing I would have done differently is the slash between the "GT" and "CS". Its not quite like the real GT/CS logo. Call me anal, but I have an eye for detail. Overall I am very happy with it. It adds just the bit of flash and uniqueness I was looking for.

Maybe you need to sell these, as you had to add the dash, I know I would buy this for mine. Where did you find these I mean, online. We need a place here where we can post information on things such as this. That is why I have repeatedly add Bobwhitedecals.com here. He does great work and is so easy to work with.

QuarterHorse · May 7, 2008

I purchased it from a place in the midwest. You can send me a pm if you would like more info.

trim for your Mustang

I found this while checking out 05 Breal Light ttrim on this sight.

Maybe the GT/CS that come with the chrome break lights may work.
