I bought this one - but never put it on. I will give away, just pay shipping (USPS flat rate small box $10) Might be able to ship cheaper but this is the easiest route for me and thus my choice.

On the cover - pretty much perfect size

There’s a lot of renewed interest in this mod. Kudos to @Trigganometry - I think Rick was the first out of the gate with this idea.

Time stamp on my photo is Feb 2021. I got my Ranger Dec 2020 so just might be ? @P. A. Schilke is right there with me though. He showed a picture of his right around the same time

That does look really nice (but it would be another thing that I'd have to put Graphene on). =D

2016 Mustang 5.0 Vert

I had my 5.0 done in my Mustang. But upon taking delivery of the 2018 Platinum 5.0 I found the manifold and valve covers are different. They have no bosses molded in for the grommet posts. So there is no ability to add the covers unless you swap the FI manifold and valve covers first. Oh well.

The paint just dried on my engine cover. I used a highly advanced (and super secret) paint technology that you can only get if you have the right military contacts. It's a formula that when the paint dries, it makes whatever you painted disappear. Works very well! What do you think?

Super secret? You sure? I think I’ve seen it before….
