- 2011+ Mustang GT engine/intake cover.
- 2012+ Mustang Boss 302 coil covers.

- the hose that goes to the coolant reservoir. *Relocate only.
- make a 9" x 2½" cut-out, notch in the RH (passenger) edge of the cover.
- paint the cover (including the chrome 5.0 emblem and trim) with SEM Trim Paint (part # 39143) - satin/matte BLACK.
- concern that the cover would trap/hold heat.
- air would still be able to flow over the intake manifold.
- minimize the hose (coolant, emissions, vacuum, fuel, etc.) changes and rerouting.
