GTJeff, you have the best looking engine bay I've seen! Looks great!

 

I'd say that's a safe bet that it wil fit an '06 and if not - you can always sell it to an '05 owner. Perhaps Ford will surprise us and include the prototype cover on the '06's......

 

Mine just arrived today and it actually looks better than I thought it would The black paint is high quality and the entire cover is more "substantial" than I thought. I'm going to paint the "GT" silver and will install the cover tonight (may have to fabricate it a bit to fit under my Steeda strut tower brace).....I've also been polishing the valve covers a bit at a time (still on the car) and they are turning out pretty nice too......would be much easier off the car - but the Eagle One metal polish rags and Mothers Metal polish are doing a great job.

I'll post pics once everything is install and looking good

 

Did you mount those emblems with the posts or dbl sided tape?

 

dbl sided tape...

 

too bad ford didn't make it look less like a jungle in there

 

I think the '05 has one of the cleanest bays. It's a sinch to work on compaired to most everything else I deal with.

GTJeff, I'd be afraid to drive the car if my engine was that clean. Heck, your car looks like a show piece.

 

I'm green with envy, they don't have the V6 yet, they should have them soon though. The covers really look good guys.

 

I guess I don't really know what is normal, it just looks like a lot of ramdom wires with black tape on them

don't get me wrong, I still like the car, but I wouldn't call the engine bay a masterpeice or anything like that.

 

That looks Great! .. Where did you get the 4.6 emblem?

Thanks, Jeff!

 

Here's mine so far - I have something else to add to it and will post pics once I'm done.

Looks Great...

Like the braided line too.. What size did you use?

How about a picture outside with more light...

 

Yeah the flash doesn't show as much as I'd like so I'll take a few shots outside tomorrow. The braided hoses are 3/8" for both PCV fittings and the brake vacuum, and 5/16" for the fuel line vacuum. Found the right parts on www.spectreperformance.com, and ordered them from www.pepboys.com - no sales tax and free shipping SCREW Summit and Jeg's and their ridiculous "handling charges" and outrageous shipping!!
I plan on using another 3/8" hose for the radiator overfill tank, and doing at least the left upper radiator hose. Then figure out what size I'll need for the other PCV hose (the one that has the foam around it) on the right front cam cover. I've always thought braided hoses with the red/blue fittings on the end looked cool on old school muscle cars, and this is a relatively inexpensive alternative
