Yea, pics are not visible... I cut mine down and did a lil cerakote on it.

Nice job on the cover!!! Super clean and how it should have looked from the factory.

Cover looks much better, was going down the same road. Made a cardboard pattern, seeing it done sets the tone.

That fits the car well, what paint type was used ?

Its now just held in with the push in rubber deal that is comes with. I just followed the lines on the cover if that helps. Also, paint wise, I just cleaned n masked it and used an H series spray and bake cerakote. Its paint that I use on the firearms I paint. Im sure any regular paint would suffice...

Figured the mounting out, and where to cut. What helped, seeing it was how it covered the fuel rails.

"bake cerakote" not heard of this. Checking will learn more. The trim plastic material is funny stuff to paint on.

So I ask experience what was used, not a believer or chance taker. Disagree here "any regular paint could suffice." playing with cars long enough to know better.

Thanks again for the picture it answered a question I had in mind

Keep up the good work

You can pretty much use any paint you want long as you have the right primer.

Good to know, thanks, experienced with metal same primer, scuff and shoot?

That is a good looking cover. I asked a few after market folks about that for the 2020. Got a thumbs down, something about a high pressure pump or valve being in the way.

Heck can get around that easy enough, also mentioned the mounting different. Yours have the 4 rubber mounts on the intake, push pins on the cover bottom?

Would need to make the same cut to accommodate the Roush CAI. No strut tower brace built that way or removed?
Any way good looking aggressive cover.

I was still able to use the push pins to hold everything down.i used the roush coil covers for ther supercharger.

the d I pump doesn't interfere with them at all.. and it fit seamlessly with their CAI ..and no issues at all with the stock tower brace

Oh man now you've done it ! I'm going over to Roush and have another look. I remember them, liked em......
Thank you Sir

Unfortunately the only drawback is those roush super charger covers aren't cheap

NP, get what you pay for, those are nice parts. To me 100 bucks for a shifter knob or starter button bling is much worst. LOL

@Elvis66 anything specific that had to be done to those Roush supercharger covers or did they just pop on as well and held down good?
