I think I want one as well! It gives some sort of a complete finish to the engine unlike the black covers.. ^_^
Count me as looking for one from Steeda or another after market if Ford does not make it available.. B)

I may get flamed for this, but does anyone else think it makes the intake look like the TPI on a 87 camaro?

Wow am I in the minority here. I couldn't care less if the engine had the cover. Yes, it looks nice, but it's just a useless piece of plastic that could end up being a rattle source. For those who want it, I do hope that it will be available in the aftermarket at a reasonable (cheap) price for you.

When I mentioned to him the disappointment about it not being offered, he asked if I would forward him the link to a forum thread that says "WE WANT THIS."
If you would like to do it, please post here. He would forward it on to those responsible for reviewing this type of feedback.

I wish they would take more of a designers eye to the basic castings and other mechanical pieces themselves rather than creating functional but drab bits and then covering them all up with plastic.
Look at the motor of, say, an Audi S4
or Ferrari Modena
or even the Alfa Romeo V6
Even a lot of older Stangs seemed to have a better integration between design and engineering on many of the older Hi-Po motors. Just things like better routing of wires and tubing can do much to clean up and enhance the aesthetics of an engine bay, getting away from the bowl of spaghetti look.

I would like the cover too. Who wouldn't? It only adds to the car. Sure it's under the hood but what is the first thing someone does when looking at your sports car? They open the hood! B)
I'm going to look into aftermarket for that. But I'm not spending big bucks on a stupid cover
