Engine bay for my Z is similar, but not quite as much going on around the intake due to the lack of sound tube stuff (and possibly older emissions requirements).



I think this one is mostly stock on the outside but with the cover removed. Car is stripped, so many of the other plastic covers are gone as well.

I wonder if the RHD versions will look any different under the bonnet although I can't see the steering shaft anyway.

I'm thinking about the brake booster and clutch master cylinder mainly.

The first thing I will do is get rid of that stupid sound tube.

I honestly think that blower could fit under the new brace. do you know how tall it is?

Nope. Ain't gonna happen. Didn't fit under old ones and new good is 35mm lower. Meaning, logically, the brace is 0-35mm lower (depending on actual difference at that spot on new design).

Actually I think I like this better. I know the other one looks cleaner but with a few alterations that could look great.

I think the stock cover looks better than no cover for sure, but an aftermarket carbon fiber cover and a matching CAI would look really good (and of course addressing the jellyfish).

Maybe I am a special kind of breed but I think the uncovered coyote is beautiful, maybe its because I look through all of the clutter and see its true beauty.

Hey it's everyone's personal preference that's the great thing about it. I like both but no cover only with better cable management and de-clutter.

I really like the uncovered Coyote too...but those pics Brent302 posted LOOK SICK. Ok Ford, if you're gonna cover up an engine, I'm alright with it looking like that. :thumbsup:

Yeah, the clutter is what kills it for me with no cover.

It's like a custom computer build. You can pay extra for "Cable management" and they neatly wrap and tuck away all cables. It would be a neat option for the 5.0

Yeah I love how much presence it gives it in the bay.[emoji106]
