I think the engine cover also helps protection the hood from heat.. aka. paint protection, instead of it heating a hot spot in middle of hood.
Explain this to us BULLITT owners!! lol

Where did you find it for $260? American Muscle? CJ's?
Glad to hear it's smooth and easy to paint!
I'm thinking painting my engine cover with the Magnetic Metallic Color with Red and some Black accents. This will match the GT350 Red Brembo kit I will be installing soon. Interior also has red stitching and subtle cues.
Not my car, just an example of my paint color with GT350 Brembos.

I wonder on the 2018-19 if the cover helps to channel heat and air pressure into the top hood vents? This way, the airflow would increase as your speed improves.? There would be less turbulence you have less stalled air in the compartment?

It's only a theory.

RPI are now marketing lower coil covers advertised for the 2017-2019 GT350R Shelby
Does anyone here know if these would fit a Bullitt ?
I emailed RPI last week on this issue and haven't got a reply yet
