I think all of us agree on that. Good thing the aftermarket has addressed it and many have taken the action of painting or powder coating them themselves.

The fuel rail does not cover the up completely.

Personally, I'm kind of glad they didn't finishe them, this way we can fo them our way. Some of the covers I've seen on here are far better then anything ford would have done.

I wrote up an article on how to paint them:
