Looks real good. I'd like to see the valve covers in a high temp red (to match my MMR intake). I may do that myself one day. The silver looks good though on yours since your car is Silver. And I am waiting for the original Ford shiny manifold cover. Somebody has to make it.

Very Cool! I was wondering about doing the manifold in Redfire, think I'll have a hard time finding Redfire in a high temp paint though....unless a few coats of high temp clearcoat will do the trick over standard paint....

here are a few pics of my engine bay w/ powder coated valve covers and a painted manifold. Nothing major, but it looks so much better.

Very cool! Is the bottom pic from Blow-By Racing? I did't see that logo on your valve cover's.

Very nice. I may have to try either the silver or the Torch red on my GT. I haven't been one of the "must have intake cover" crowd, but I DO think it looks better painted then the factory black color.
Nice touch.

VERY COOL! That does look nice. And I like the braided steel over the radiator hose. I've been contemplating buying one of those kits from Pep Boys. Thanks for the pics!

DITTO - nice improvement
Still hoping for an aftermarket version of the Ford engine cover - but that really looks good......I noticed the "Blow by raciing" valve cover in the last pic - that's not the one you have installed or did you remove the sticker?
