There's a slide showing the completed engine cover somewhere.
Shape is the same, but the finished product looks a lot better.
Exact same with the 5L cover that's just a mould VS the final product.
At the reveal on the 5th of Dec they didn't show if the V6 has a cover

a nice brushed aluminum/chrome box thing would look nice there, aftermarket take note.

that's still a pre-production part, some factory coolant degas bottles have a black top and clear bottom, or even the other way around when the battery tray or other parts are incorporated into the design.
in short, I'm thinking it will be the same bottle but have a black top.

oh dear.. upon further inspection it seems the max fill line is in the top half of the bottle, which means unless the design is changed they can't make the top black.
I also noticed that, consistent with other ecoboost engines, they have ditched the MAF and gone back to speed density here as well.

Im not a fan of engine covers either. The engineers worked hard on the motors, let them show off their work! I mean yea alot of folks would rather see an engine cover making it look cleaner under hood but thats more work for maintenence folks and do-it-yourselfers to remove the cover just to even touch the motor.

Coolant reservoir AKA "Human Kidney"
What you see cant be unseen now.
If thats the final design of it, I hope the "human kidney" will catch on in the mustang community and join the ranks of "the diaper" .

That's interesting, I wonder why Ford ditched a MAF for speed density? I wonder if there was an issue with pulsing in the intake system or something else affecting the signal?
Never mind found it, the distance from the throttle is the issue. Ford felt there was to much plumbing between the throttle and a MAF to get an accurate signal.

If the engineers worked together, I am sure they could find a way to relocate pieces to clean up the look of the engine to eliminate the need for an engine cover. The use of sound deadening material under the hood should be capable to eliminate engine noise.
