Engine cover for 2019 GT

[Joedag1]

I really dislike the engine cover on my 2019 GT . There are so many for 2017 and down. I can’t find anything for the gen 3 Coyote

Take it off or modify it. There are threads with plenty of information on this. Here's my take on it:

I find a Whipple makes the best engine cover but opinions vary

@boB, A-1 on the looks. Ever consider doing a engine dress up kit with that?

Nope, it was a PITA to do and one was enough! ;)

I didnt like it either so I dressed it up. PIc with original air intake and another with cai.

I can't stop looking at this. Not sure it'd look as good in any other color. The radioactive green really works.

Very cool!

Jig saw works much easier

I think I have opened my hood a grand total of 1 time since I bought the car. What ya gotta open it so much for that requires all that time and effort to dress it up? Just curious not putting yall down . I just don't have any need to open my hood. Gets opened at oil change time by FORD. Other than that it's never open so I personally don't care what it looks like under there.

Your right, but... I did my white ecoboost, polished charged pipes, polished CAI, painted cover. Seem I was the only one that ever saw it. When I did open hood to show engine really no big deal to observers. Didn't matter to me, I enjoyed opening the hood every time I deep cleaned my car and wiping it all down.
My new 2019 GT is black so no interest in dressing up

Ok, radioactive orange also works.

Sometimes I pop the hood just to look at it. Also, oil changes, catchcan emptying, fluid top up, mod installation, etc. Did I forget anything?

Yup. Folks who do the car show circuit. Cars & Coffee, Mustang Week here in MB. The dress up is as much for others as it is for the owner.

By the way Velocity Blue would look awesome too.

Dressing mine up gave me a reason to go do car shows and meet some awesome people. I like to do more with my car besides just drive it.

At just about any sort of car show or meet, hoods up is pretty much expected. Cars that don't have their hoods open tend to get much less attention than those with open hoods. And cars whose underhood views "pop" more tend to get more favorable attention than those that have been left stock.

It's really just a more serious level of detailing than wash/wax/claybar, and as mentioned is done at least as much for others as for yourself. Though I suppose if you need it to be there for noise suppression, making it look good to you could be reason enough.
