I have a minor mod you can do to dress up your engine bay.
Sorry couldn't resist![8D]

We have a great set of fill cover caps if you want to start out a little smaller than PLstang
Here's the thread https://mustangforums.com/m_4441507/tm.htm
Good luck with the upgrades

RE: Engine Appearance Mod's
LOL - Thanks for the suggestions.
I am waiting on Whipple to complete their 08 version of the HO SC. Then that baby is going in too! I guess there are some changes for the 2008 around number of bolts for the heads, emissions stuff (?) and also the location of the coolant system. So Whipple is about 1 month away from having the 2008 version ready.
Anybody like the braided hose look or the dress up stuff for the wires and cable harnesses? I am not sure if they look cheesy or good. I have not seen any S197's with those dress up pieces. I am also leaning to powder coated - Ford Blue head covers, although I have always been partial to the shiny chrome or highly polished stuff better than paint.
Any way, keep em coming and thanks everyone!

Any tips on doing braided cables and colored wiring?
Also, I got the Shelby engine caps, fuse box cover, FRPP CAI with intake elbow, and I ordered the Steeda Strut bar, and when North American Tuning gets the shock tower caps painted in vapor metallic, I'll be ordering those.

Just keep it simple.. Less is always more.
I'm also doing the billet covers too.

I would rather get real braided lines for replacement.. not covers.
Does anyone make a braided line hose replacement kit for a 2007?
