Count me in as well. The Midwest Auto Gear cover looks too much like a modified shoebox IMO. There is a company called BBK that makes a platistic chrome-finished plenum cover for the 2005+ GT that looks better than the Midwest Auto Gear piece, but it goes for around $250.

Something to consider for those hoping to fit a strut tower brace over it:
In the pictures the ford cover looks to be taller at the back than the front, tapering from back to front. You can see it looking at the difference in height between the plenum "notches" and top. The midwest plenum cover is the same front-to-back. I don't know if the midwest is just taller overall and a tower brace would fit over the ford cover better, or if ford's is taller where the brace would cross it because of the taper. I'm betting ford's is taller at the back.
Just my 2 cents.
My midwest cover:
[attachmentid=43333]
Ford cover (from pre-production show car):
[attachmentid=43334]

KC. Looks like we have a lot of people who want one. Can we get a group buy in for early purchase prior to the other dealers getting them? If we pay up front your dealership could order a large quantity.
