Depends if it does anything. If it is a heat extractor which will help its efficiency and performance then I am for it but if it is just a looks thing that is going to increase its cost and hide its beautiful engine then I say leave it off.

Now if those black runners were just coated with a satin aluminum finish.... I'd LOVE the "no covers" look.
But it doesn't matter. I'm not going to sit there at the mall with the hood open showing the engine off to a bunch of losers with their baseball caps on sideways and their pants dropping down around their knees.
I think I'd rather ~drive~ mine, and I can't see under the hood while I'm doing that, can I?

I had a '95 Taurus SHO and it had the aluminum satin finish on the "bed of snakes" intake:
That Yamaha was one sweet engine!

Seeing the larger pictures I would have to vote cover. The Taurus SHO engine sure looks good without one though

It needs something to dress up the engine. Without anything, it sorta looks like an LS1 or something (f-body, not Vette or GTO). The center cover looks cool, but if they don't have one, they should throw on some covers to hide all that unsighly wiring and stuff on the valve covers, much like the GTO and Vette have.
No, the cover(s) would not add any performance, but niether does a nice paintjob. And no, I won't be sitting in a mall parking lot with the hood up, but you'd be lying if you said you never popped the hood to show your friends when they came over to look at your new car.

I wouldn't doubt if the aftermarket will make either an intake cover, or some sort of Vette style fuel rail covers...because that is seriouslt one ugly ass endinge without.

both look fine to me, to each their own I suppose, the after-market and one's own creativity are wonderous things
