Real Carbon Fiber Engine Cover for the 5.0

Our engine cover just got here and ran out and installed it right away.
it's friggin SICK looking.
I removed my stock 5.0 emblem and put it in the CF cover, but I will be offering new emblems for those who don't want to do this.

BTW, it's only $349

Wow absolutely love it, and the valve cover. We just give you our stock ones? How long does it usually take to get done.

This is only $225 with new parts and shipping.

What does it like without the cover? I always think sometimes less is more

It's a nice piece, but at $350 I'd have to charge people $5 a pop to look at my engine to break even in 4 years. That's about how long it would take before I pop my hood 70 times ...

$350 for this much real carbon fiber and detail is dirt cheap.
But I bet you could get $5 a pop just to look at this thing.

Thanks

Are you kidding? I can't get my friends to buy a round let alone fork out $5 to look at an engine cover.

I love the engine bays on the 5.0... Id like to see one of them with a wire tuck... give it that old school clean engine bay look. Those CF pieces add a nice lil touch.

Hey, I said it was a nice piece. I'm not bashing it; I do have a hard time though justifying that kind of coin FOR MYSELF. I suppose that if you were a carshow-circuit type person it would be a great addition.

Are you guy serious? The same people arguing and posting negitive comments in every friggn thread????????????????

I joined TMS as a vendor because it looked like a good group of people, but it seems I was wrong.

Can a moderator please clean this thread up?

Thanks
Jay

Please don't judge the entire membership that way...as you can see, 95 percent of us are respectful and also buy your product...

Every one of my Mustangs has had a JLT intake, and I can't wait to buy a colormatched CAI for my 2011. So no, you weren't wrong.

I agree with Blue on this one. Although there seems to be a lot more arguing lately than there was before. There are a few parts from your site on my list of things to get. Thanks for posting here, because otherwise I probably wouldn't have even seen them.
