Default Custom 2v Engine covers

I have been looking for about a year and have not seen anything. So I have a 4.6 2v and I want an engine cover/ plenum cover. If anyone has pics please post. I'm looking for ideas or maybe a platform that I can use to create one.

I am making it a show car and I want a cover that I can paint. i will probably end up doing it in carbon fiber and then painting true flames on it.

Naw.... I have a Professional Products Plenum and the surface is wavy. I have an idea I might just cut up a couple of 2011 covers and a 3v cover and see if I can make that work. I intend to make it out of carbon fiber though.

Just get a P-51 intake manifold. Looks oddly enough like an engine cover and you can sand it down and paint it as well...

if your making it a show car then get an aftermarket manifold chrome that or something and polish, paint, and chrome other parts. engine covers look tacky imo

if anything make a cool battery cover and paint on that, paint your radiator support cover, get a metal coolant reservoir and paint that.
