Has anybody seen this kind of discoloration on 05 GT Mustangs? I've got 1500 miles on it now.

That's a plating issue. I have the same thing.

Why would they plate it? Oh, that's right, to go along with the intake manifold cover!

Mine doesn't - as a matter of fact I just polished the rails out yesterdaywith Mothers Mag Polish and it came out nice.....ov couse I only have 1150 miles on mine so it could turn in the next 150 miles or so..he..he - JK - look at it this way - all the more reason to push the aftermarket for that engine cover!!
