Default Under Hood Bling

Did some billet bling to the engine compartment, billet caps, stainless/billet washer bolts, fuse box cover, billet battery hold down and billet strut tower caps and nut covers. Fuse box cover is a rip, not worth much at all. Ended up sanding it and spraying it aluminum...works till I can find a better billet one.

It looks nice, but I've never been partial to cap or lid covers.

Are they lid covers or true replacements. Either way, I think it really looks good.

MGW has the true replacements and I think the OP's are too! I have the strut tower caps too and love them!

It's a 6 piece set, some are covers and some are actual replacements caps.

Looks good.
I bought the same caps/covers from here, http://www.partscheap.com/Mustang_GT...ine-cap-gt.htm . They were cheaper and were shipped fast. They look to be good quality. Only the coolant and brake fluid cover the existing caps all the others are replacement caps. I also removed my cam covers to have them powder coated.

Looks nice and clean. I suggest getting the radiator extension covers to finish it off!

Very nice!! Just installed a set on mine as well...

+1 on Chris's comments about the radiator extensions as they definitely help finish things off under the hood.
