I was thinking of the MUSTANG also. That is a horse and a plane, so kind of hard to copy right that one, Lol. or MUSTANG SOHC or MUSTANG 3V-281

Keep me in the loop, I am looking on added a cam so that would be a good time to swap them out.

I think the just plain MUSTANG would be nice, unless we can all agree on something else. I'll continue to update this thread as I learn more, but I will say it only takes about 30 minutes taking your time to swap covers on our cars!

Could you actually be sued over "Ford Racing" though? I'd be interested in knowing if they own copyrights to that as well as "FRPP".. If not, I'd be down for a set with Ford Racing...

Ill be honest I'm not up to doing the leg work on finding out. If someone else who is good with legal is willing to take the time I'm willing to listen. I don't want any headaches out of this, I don't see selling more than 25 pairs so I'm not interested in a hassle.

Haha don't scare off the help Gary! I'm sure someone here knows the rules behind this though, maybe we should start a new thread about copyrighting?

Really... The way I look at it is policies are meant to be broken. Hahaha.

I cannot promise under $400, my estimate is between $4-500 depending on how you option them including shipping. I will keep you guys posted but I think they will come in around $450, depends on how much work he has to put into them to make them work. I'm also working on a solution for you hits with 14 bolt covers that don't want to switch, I will have to test my theory for those interested but with a billet rail around the cover it shouldn't be difficult at all

I also need you guys to understand with options come cost, that includes ingraving.

I was wondering if we could put the Powered by Ford emblems they are selling now on the valve covers? Would it get too hot? Would the 3m tape work?

Since this thread is under "GT Performance Mods", I am wondering. How many horses does this add? Or is it the torque? Maybe handling?????

Well, cool covers have to add 6-10 hp (that is the standard non HP mod claim anyway).
