No, they never had one on pre-production models. But they want money so not making one for the V6 would lose a few more potential buyers, so there may be a version of it as well.

 

You would think that they would make them for the V6 as well. Like you say its all about the $$$$$

 

$100-200 bucks WOW don't be giving Ford any ideas on what to charge. Crazy prices on cold air and exhaust is bad enough. Don't think I would be in the market for something I can't see and does not make a better ride or HP. John you will not have to stand in line behind me on this one.

 

I like the mani cover but not as an extra expense add-on. It as well as the 18"Fans should be Standard on the 2006 GT Premium coupe.

 

From what I read, the cover was for the GT model to help "distinguish" it from the v-6 so it wasn't originally going to be on the 6. Who knows what they will eventualy do, especially to make a few bucks.... (would have been nice if they kept the dead pedal as well...This was in the car show car as well).

 

The cover and dead pedal would be nice. Was the dead pedal on the show car, just a black pedal? That is what I am looking for and all I seem to find is aluminum etc.

 

So I guess I am the only one who thinks the cover looks like lipstick on a pig? It doesn't do anything at all. Extra cost, extra weight. More "stuff" in the way when you do want to work on the engine.

Maybe if it did something like help dampen engine noise... Wait! I like the way the engine sounds... Leave that fake plastic crap where it belongs, on the ricers.

 

IF they offer it and IF it is not some plastic crap, then its probably a go since it looks GOOD IMO.

 

Looking forward to it if available -otherwise I'll look for a polished intake manifold... Edelbrock are ya listenin'?

 

I think the cover is a neccessity. It really does something to lighten up whats under the hood. However, this should not be some crazy $100 buy up option from the dealers. We are simply talking about a Ford emblazened insignia plastic casing that dresses up the looks of the engine. $25-$35 would be plenty for something like this. So where the heck is it???

 

Reading the thread from Kevin, the TMS Official OEM supplier, does not look it is coming in the near future at least from Ford.

 

I like this manifold cover.

 

B) I agree, especially at any price over $10.

 

Are you calling my car a pig?
