plenum cover

I am wanting this plenum cover. From California pony cars. Does any member have one? Wondering how it fits.

Don't have one, but CPC is very good from the product I have of theirs. Looks nice, kind of like the Coyote cover...

I have had this one on since 06 and the hood liner rubs it so it doesn't look as nice anymore.

^ I have one like that on my wall because I took it off . . . never really understood the concept of engine covers, I'd rather see the engine, LOL ;-)

This is mine with the fuel rail covers, was a tight fit in the back and have to move some wires but worth it!

I'd rather not, as the 4.6/5.0 Coyote is just not very pretty. The valley for the coils is a mess, all that naked wiring, the plenum is just meh, and all of it just gets dirty dirty dirty, unless it's a garage queen and/or you clean it all the time. Covers are easier to keep clean, and hides the rats nest. Although, I do have to admit the fuel rail system is quite elegant. The engine is a marvel, but it's purposeful and not very attractive.

A old school carbureted 5.0 can be made pretty. And maybe these things can, but it'll take quite the bit of work without covers. Covers for the win, IMO, if you want good looking.

/Haven't put mine on yet, I wanna paint them one day, but they're gonna happen.

//Covers (siphon with a large amount of negative pressure) when you wanna work on the things though, that I absolutely understand. My Mark VIII back when 'lost' its cover quite quickly.
