S-197 2005-2009 Ford Mustang V6 Engine dress up

I have an 08 V6....and for the life of me and I can not seem to locate any engine covers (plenum, TB ext, etc) Ive checked all my usual venues; AM, NAT, even amazon....no luck. Point me in the right direction?

The plenum covers are few and far between. I want one so bad, too!

this might sound a little on the ghetto side but recently i've been putting blue colored electrical tape in my engine bay and i think it looks really nice, im taking my time of course 2 hrs spent so far but the blue looks really neat in there and i've run it already, in the rain too and it has'nt peeled off or melted ( i dont place it on anything that you cant touch after you run your car) i'll post a picture up when im done but i think it adds some color to our engine bay

That's the exact one I wanted, too!

I am interested about the electrical tape idea.

Seems yall are right, they all seem to have disappeared. I've been looking through all my links, and only the GT covers remain.

For an extra $65 (on top of $190+), you can try this place:

Or this place (but I think they get them from the above place):

Is it possible to safely paint the radiator cover?

Sure. You can also buy them in chome/brushed/carbon fiber/pre-painted/etc and also extensions for the part above the headlights.

My engine bay is also pretty dirty (well really dirty actually)...need to get some cleaning done when I get back home. The plenum cover would be nice, but that above link has them listed for more than one should cost....I guess because they're all custom....smh.

Not really sure what it is that you are asking....but if you installed a CAI, you probably need a tune to turn off the check engine light.
