Pretty good deal, also if you have the discount code, even better.

You should also take a look at Midwest Auto Gear (www.midwestautogear.com). They offer a lot of different color combinations, including some custom airbrushed plenum covers that are kind of cool. I will probably be buying one from them some time soon.

Question: Does the plenum cover interfere with the hood liner? And does it just sit on there or what actually holds it down?

I have the felt typehood liner on the underside of the hood and noticed a small wear mark from the TB rubbing. I really would like to add a plenum, but not sure if it will either rub the paint off the plenum or wear a patch on the hood liner?

You could take the hood liner out and replace it with the shiny metal liner I have seen for our cars

I got mine from Midwest Auto Gear www.midwestautogear.com
I was going to order on the internet but Mike (1BADD05) told me to call
and talk to Tracy. She gave me a 10% discount. I ordered...
Plenum cover, Shock covers, Fuse box cover, Radiator Cover, Radiator extentions, and
Mirror covers...yeah, that broke me!! lol
So If u order from Midwest call her and tell her Mike from the Mustang club in
Michigan sent u.. Maybe she will give u a discount too I am waiting on the Plenum cover that I ordered in red. They have to paint it. The other parts I got fit perfect and look awesome!

I like the look but that is a little steep, and I mean all that has to hold some heat, also it will get really dirty looking so you have to keep it really clean
