You know it looks good.

I think the plenum extension cover over the throttle body will clean it up nice. I have mine with the Bullitt intake and like the look.

I like it, I have the plenum cover as well but I installed Ford Blue valve covers instead of painting mine the plenum cover. I think both combos look great...I especially like the way yours pull the entire engine together.

I went for the old-school look with wrinkle-finish powder coat:

Where did you get the ford racing emblem that you put on the valve cover? And then how did you get on? I love it! I've been looking for some of those forever.

Looks good!!! I admit, I'm tempted to see how they would've looked in Red!

That was easy. Just tie into the battery positive lead connection in the under-hood fusebox.

Got them on Ebay from some guy in China who makes them. They are made of aluminum. If you decide to do the same thing, tell him to leave off the 3m double-sided tape. To attach it, I used JB weld (it's good to 450+ degrees, according to the JB Weld website).
