Can you see if your dealer can get part numbers for the blue coil covers and the black shift ****?

That's similar in price to the Roush and Saleen grills. I look forward to your photos of it installed.

Ditto! I'm looking for those blue coil covers all over, but only saw them on Blue Oval Industries website on backorder...

Please let us know how that Boss grill fits... interesting thought! I guess my list is getting longer and longer...

I couldn't justify the cost of the coil covers, so I just painted mine with Rustoleum High Temp Ford Engine Blue:



Took my time with a few coats, and after seeing a boss in person, its a 95% match. You'd only know the difference if you set the two on a table next to each other, and its just a matter of the satin sheens being very slightly different.

Nice work. How difficult is it to remove the covers?

Stupid simple, they just pull up, you have to undo one clicklock connector on the passenger valve cover by hand, but that's it.

I literally just lifted up the covers, removed them from the car, and sprayed about a half dozen very light coats from varying angles to make sure I had complete coverage, letting dry for 10 minutes between coats. Total cost $5 and some change. If you can drive your car to the store, then you can certainly paint your own covers. Just patience and light coats is key.

Ok so the only thing we brought up were the 5.0 Engine cover and the two gray coil covers as a kit, 3 pieces was $120.85 for all three and the only Black Shifter Ball with Ford Racing on it was the one in the catalog but that doesnt have the correct shifter pattern on it.. I thought that was a pretty good price for the engine cover set...

Ok here is the grill.. It is all black and I think I will leave it like that until I put it on and give it a good look.. I like the contrast of the black against the red so I will give everyone a look before I put it all back together. It was $238.69...

The splitter came in also and I will post up pics of the install to compliment Steve's.... hope I dont muck it up....

Splitter was $120.73...

The blue coil covers and the shift **** are not FRPP parts or accessories, they need to be looked up through replacement parts. I found a partial number, but don't have much more than that.

He said he would try and find it by looking at all the Boss parts so I think he might find it there..

Splitter came in and looks awesome... can't wait until I get the CS front to install the splitter! Paid only $18 in shipping to FL, which I thought was a fantastic value, compared to some other companies charging you to death for S&H!

Even inquired about the CS front... shipping was estimated at $30 to FL... which is not bad, but is almost the same price as picking it up locally. But MUCH better than LMR with $130 (!!!) shipping fees!

I'll definitely will order from Varsity Ford again!!!


Dave:
Grille looks great! But I'm curious what's in the square box underneath the grille???? LOL

The grill surround is painted the same color as the body on the Boss cars. Was it painted on the pace car? Personallly I like the surround painted. If I bought a GT I was going to install a Roush billet grill and paint the surround.

OK splitter and grill are on, it only took about 10 Mins. to get the grill off and on, so I will make a decision on weather or not to paint it but I love it! The splitter was a snap thanks to the info form Steve.. Let me know what you think about the grill and I will put that into a new thread...
