Engine Cover & Plenum Cover from MOSS

Has anyone purchased any of the following items from MOSS? There was a thread a while back where someone had purchased one of these items and the color didn't match in certain lighting conditions... Does anyone know if this has been fixed or purchased these recently that can shed some light on this?

Thanks,

I have the plenum extension piece...The color is very close but not perfect. I still like it, finishes off the intake/cover nicely. Here are pics of mine so you can see for yourself...Looks/fits a little different with my JLT.

The Ford blue on your valve covers looks great. It gives your engine a nice touch and offsets the silver. The clear radiator hose is different, but in a good way.

Did you paint the valve covers yourself or where did you buy them? I want blue valve covers too.

Thanks guys, yeh I painted them. Here's a link to the instructions I followed, gives some tips on removal etc. http://www.cherod.com/mustang/HowTo/ValveCover.htm

Its a more intimidating project than difficult once you get started. I used 1 can engine primer, 1 can Ford blue, 1 can clear. Just clean covers, lightly sand them and paint...engine paint dries quick, put them back on the next day. Been almost a year with no issues.

Not green, the hose is clear glass with green antifreeze flowing inside.

I've seen the glass hose on a couple local Mustangs. I think it looks good, but I also know its expensive as heck, especially if you start doing piping with it.
