If they are from an 04, then they are Romeo. Windsors came on Mustangs in 1999-2000. BBK make valve covers, or you can try a junk yard.

+1 Aftermarket valve covers cost almost $300 and look like crap. Find a pair of stock ones and make them pretty like mine.

shameless engine pic plug.
bbks lack internal baffling...either got to tig weld one in or use a seperator, air/water, catch can breather, etc. . paint the stockers, team breed or bbk are the options i think

i used a mini breather catch can mounted to the power steering for the pcv.
