I have been searching around and need some assistance from the masses. Does anyone, like Ford Racing etc, make valve covers for the 05 GT????

Think its going to be a little while longer before there is a good selection of covers out there to buy. Been thinking of paint of preferably powder coating at some point

I have searched high and low, and haven't found any aftermarket valve covers. So I had mine powder coated in Reflective Chrome at a local shop. Looks much better than the very ugly stockers.

My WebpageI currently make cast alum "personalized" covers for the 4.6 2V. Am looking at making a version for the the 3 V. Would have machined fins and a logo space on driver side. Some months away...I'll keep everyone posted.

IMO this is the type of cover worth waiting for. Not big on alot of chrome, etc in the engine compartment but having something like a ribbed cover would be nice

Ford Racing is supposed to release some chrome covers this summer. But... Summer is almost gone. I think that powder coating is a great solution and just as durable for about $100.00 for a set.
