If the cover isn't offered, what about the idea of getting an aftermarket intake manifold to replace the black plastic one? Could add some horsepower too. Anyone know anything about where to get 'em, and how much?

 

The intake cover "Powered by Ford" would set off the engine compartment nicely. I want it.

 

Why?
Offer it as a dealer installed option. Many car companies do this. ie. optional spoiler, different stereos. I mean for pete's sake some companies go as far as to offer locking lugs as an option. I dont see why this would be financially difficult. Dodge offers the new SRT-4 with the option to have a powder coated Intake manifold. Ford could do it. And I believe it would be a pretty commonly selected option, so it could be incredibly profitable.

 

I'm just glad so many participated in the POLL in favor of it... I hope that when my '05 Mustang GT is finally delivered, I'll be able to pop the hood and see it already installed.

 

Like Ford, for example, on the 2005 Mustang no less .

I like it, but will remove it to put a after market intake or a custom intake. but if I were to show the car I would want it, so i say to Ford lets put on there.

 

I can't help from feeling a little disapointed every time i see that engine without the cover.

 

I have to agree. It looks ugly without it. They at least need to make the intakes aluminum colored.

 

the cover does look awsome...thats the first thing that i loved about this car

 

Including Ford. Locking lugs are Order Code #17L on the '05 Mustang.

 

Give me the Silver "Powered by Ford" cover with the galloping horse on it!

and make this bad boy a NO COST Option....
