Thanks KC.... man i guess i have to just stand back and envy everyone elses!

iS THERE AN AFTERMARKET COVER FOR THE V6 THAT LOOKS AS GOOD AS FORD'S?

 

Its the Granatelli Single bar Strut Brace.

There are a couple strut brace posts that indicate that if you remove the fuel rail nuts and put the cover on then replace the nuts rather than just slip it over it sits lower and will clear without a problem, but haven't had a chance to try it myself

 

OK, were do you get the Granatelli Single bar Strut Brace?

email sent... can't wait to get it.

 

Just had to add my voice to the chorus. The UPS man delivered happiness in the form of my new cover yesterday and like everyone else I'm delighted with it. This was my first purchase from Kevin and he completely lives up to his reputation. The best customer service I have had in a LONG time.

 

Hey Kevin,

Another happy customer here. Found a box waiting for me when I got home. The cover looks great in person, can't wait to get under the hood tomorrow and thanks for all the little extra goodies.

You had mentioned valve covers a while back, any progress? Now that I am adding some "bling" to the engine compartment I would love some valve covers to match the new intake cover.

Keep me posted
Thanks

Got my engine cover this past week from kc. I had previously installed a BMR strut tower brace and as expected it did not have enough clearence with the engine cover. I was torn. I like the look of the engine cover, but i wanted to keep the strut tower brace. So. What to do. When in doubt use a bigger hammer or in this case saw. I cut a 2" notch in the back where the bar passes over the rear of the engine cover. used a dremel tool to get a good round grove and then trimed with rubber 3m door trim. I'm still getting a little "touching" from the front "bar" but not enough to worry about. I know some of you will think I'm nuts, but once you have cut holes in the hood of you brand new GT, for hood pins this was a piece of cake...

 

Is anybody else's cover rubbing on the hood insulation? Mine does, I installed it correctly and everything

If this keeps up, I'll only use it for shows...

 

Not mine, its protected by a strut tower that rubs on the liner and ever so slightly on the plenum cover.

 

I checked mine, it's rubbing.

 

Yes,
When I got on it yesterday I could hear it. I looked to see if it was loose and I saw the mark on the cover from the hood insulation.
HELP! What can I do.

 

I have the Strange Development STB and the factory cover would have rubbed on it, but I removed the rubber grommets on the back, put the cover on, put the grommets on the rear studs to hold the rear of the cover down and then put the plastic things back on the studs. This makes the rear of the cover sit a bit lower. It might help out you guys that are having rubbing issues, as the cover fit really well under the STB.

 

This helped my cover fit under the Granatelli STB. It worked great, but the rear grommets were very tight to get the stud through the grommet.
